| Indhold: |
As a compulsory part of the MA Programme, the Centre of African Studies runs a Thesis Seminar each semester. MA students already at the stage of writing their (compulsory) thesis must sign up and participate in the Thesis Seminar. A signed thesis contract is a prerequisite for participation. The purpose of this seminar is to enhance the student’s skills, confidence and satisfaction in the thesis-writing process, as well as to provide substantive feedback on the formulation of ideas and written work, according to the rules of the curricula. A key element, and requirement, of the Thesis Seminar is participation by each student in two sessions in which he/she must provide written material, directly linked to the thesis itself. The first written ‘paper’ must be between 500-1000 words. The paper should provide an overall outline and description of what the thesis is about, including a clearly defined research problem and question, an indication of the proposed thesis structure, and a timetable for the writing process. The second written paper should be between 2200-4400 words. This paper has to be a coherent text (that is, not in note form), such as one of the chapters of the thesis. The written material is presented in groups, and the group members provide feedback. Participation in feedback groups is compulsory. The Thesis Seminar is based on active participation and requires that the students both present their own work and that they act as ‘opponents’ in response to other students’ work. |
