General seminar
0 points * One 2-hour seminar per week * First and second semester * Clayton
The general seminar, which is compulsory, consists of a series of meetings (which may or may not be streamed, depending on demand) focused on the work being done by students towards their dissertation. The first two or three weeks, at the end of first semester, will be devoted to guest speakers about their own research projects and methodologies; the remainder, which will occupy the first four or five weeks of second semester, will feature presentations of work-in-progress, followed by questions and discussion. The seminar carries no points, but will provide practical help and guidance to students on their thesis writing. Students are obliged to attend regularly.
