The course is open to all Faculty of Humanities PhD candidates who have completed their mid-term evaluations and are now approaching or already in the final year of their dissertation writing process.
This course offers a supportive environment for sharing experiences and discussing strategies that can help lead to the successful completion of their projects. Course facilitators will provide practical tips and resources tailored to the unique challenges faced during this period to help alleviate the pressures of project completion.
Participants will engage in discussions that allow for sharing their current situation and their thoughts on the path forward towards completing their dissertations.
The course will focus on the following key areas:
- Individual Writing Strategies: Tailored advice on developing effective writing habits that fit your personal working style, including time management techniques and setting achievable writing goals.
- Peer Support in the Writing Process: The importance of fostering a supportive writing community, including methods for collaborating with fellow candidates and utilizing peer feedback effectively.
