Thesis seminar CADS PIP

Vak
2024-2025

Admission requirements

Admission is only for CADS Sociology of Policy in Practice students who have finished the fieldwork research for their master’s thesis.

Course Description

This 5 ECTS course aims to establish the analytical connection between experience of fieldwork and the data collected during fieldwork, and the theories and epistemologies discussed in the first part of the master's programme. The focus will be on the level of analysis, the units of analysis, and the process of constructing a written academic argument.

Schedule

Dates and room numbers can be found on the website.

Mode of instruction

Students will meet in weekly tutorials.

Assessment Method

A series of short weekly assignments that will be graded. The grades will count proportionally towards the final grade for the course (80% of the final grade). Feedback to peers, which requires participation in class, counts for 20% of the final grade. Non-submitted assingments or feedback will count as a fail. Presence in all classes is mandatory, from the start of the course, and more than 2 absences will result in failure of the course.

Registration in My Studymap

Registration for the lectures in My Studymap is mandatory for all students. Registration closes 5 days before the start of the course. Carefully read all information about the procedures and deadlines for registering for courses and exams.

Students need not register for the examination via My Studymap, because this course does not include a single final examination.

Brightspace

Brightspace will be used to make information and assignments available. Brightspace module for this course will be available for registration by the end of February.

Course Literature

There is no separate reading list for this course. Students will use literature from previous coursework in the programme, their fieldwork notes, and literature used for writing the master's thesis.
