EasyChair Preprint no. 677

Abstract

To be able to supervise a large number of thesis projects, and improve student learning during the thesis project, we have organised Master Thesis Schools (MTS) with four parts: start-up meeting, half-time presentations, writing workshop, and peer-review. In this paper, we discuss the organisation of the MTS and its effects on the students and the teachers.

Keyphrases: half time presentation, Master Thesis, Master thesis project, master thesis school, masters thesis, peer review, supervision, thesis project, time presentation, weekly email
