Annotation
Doctoral Seminar IV is aimed at building students´ capacity in writing their dissertation. In DS IV, the presenting students submit one full chapter of their dissertation. Two opponents give feedback to a chapter: a dedicated student opponent and the lecturer. During the seminars the presenting student briefly introduces the chapter, especially with the focus on the chapter´s position and role in the whole of the dissertation. The dedicated student opponent then presents their review, other students´ comments follow and the lecturer´s review is presented at the end. DS IV also strives to provide training for standard academic activities and positions, such as reviewing the work of the others in a productive but non-offensive way, or being able to handle reviews of one's own work. As an outcome of DS IV, all presenting students will have a first version of one chapter ready.
