| Content | In their thesis defense, doctoral students have to present a summary of their research to a board of examiners and then answer critical questions. This course is designed to prepare the participants optimally for this situation. In the first part of the course the participants get practical tips for their thesis defense presentation: how to structure the presentation, how to build a sound argument, what language to use, etc. The second part of the course addresses problems that can occur during the discussion. We look at various types of difficult questions and discuss strategies that the participants can use to respond to them. In the third part, participants get the chance to practice their presentation and to receive feedback from the group and from the trainer. Das Seminar wird von Dr. Malte Engel, Institut für Argumentationskompetenz, angeboten. |
| Learning objectives | The goal of the course is mainly to help them prepare central elements for the summary of their research that they have to present in the thesis defense, so the course can also be helpful for participants who are still in the writing-phase. |
| Comments | The workshop is offered by the Graduate School of Psychology. Maximum number of participants: 10. Selection criteria: 1. Currently a PhD candidate in psychology 2. First come - first served GSP rules for withdrawal, absence, or partial course attendance: If you cannot attend a workshop that you have signed up for, please cancel your course registration as soon as possible by sending an e-mail to angela.leipold@unibas.ch.
