| Content | Within the study program of MSD 2017, students have to register 3 times in a 'master's thesis colloquium'. This colloquium is the third and last one (= colloquium C). The participants present the results of their master's theses. They prepare their presentations in a way that is accessible to an interdisciplinary audience, focus on the relation of their research questions to sustainable development and the fit between these questions and the results of their theses. |
| Learning objectives | The students learn - to present research questions and a research results to an interdisciplinary audience; - to place their research questions in an appropriate sustainability context; - to discuss research questions and results from other disciplines; - to provide constructive feedback to their fellow students. |
