Teaching
Teaching takes place over one day during the semester. The participants give a brief introduction of their draft (5-10 mins). They will then receive comments from an appointed opponent, as well as comments from the PhD coordinators and the other research fellows.
Examination
The draft introductory chapter must be submitted 2 weeks before the course. Those who write a monograph present their introduction and conclusion or another combination of chapters in consultation with the course conveners. If the doctoral research fellows so wish, they can submit in advance a ‘reader's guide’ describing what kind of comments would be of most value.
We also need a?declaration?that you have all assessments, concessions, approvals and recommendations your research requires. In addition you need to send in the documentation itself (NSD/Sikt, REK etc.).
Attendance combined with the oral and written presentations will form the basis for determining whether the doctoral research fellow has passed the seminar. This applies to all parts of the thesis seminar.
