Syllabus
  • The syllabus is prepared individually in agreement with the supervisor as part of the individual study plan. The student, in agreement with the supervisor, chooses a conference focusing on the topic of the dissertation or a similar topic and discusses the topic of the discussion paper. At the same time, he / she will consult the supervisor on the progress of the discussion paper as well as the presentation itself, and subsequent discussion. The conference performance, which is evaluated within the course, is usually preceded by practice performances (with other topics) at less demanding conferences, through which the student develops the necessary skills (according to the individual needs of the student, which are identified in cooperation with the supervisor). The evaluated course is the outcome of this whole process of developing relevant skills; not its whole expression.
