ARK-E5512 - Pre-Thesis Seminar, Lecture, 17.9.2021-17.12.2021

Assignment 1.  Nature of your Thesis and a Preliminary Abstract

Deadline 24.9. 17:00

Give your thesis a headline (and a subheadline) and write a very short description (abstract) of your coming thesis - max. 2000 characters with spaces. After the abstract text, list a set of sources that you already know you will be using for the thesis, or a description of the types of sources/literature/references, that you think you will be using (the list is not included in the 2000 character-count).

This is the first ‘try’ to formulate your thesis ideas in written form, so nothing needs to be ready or polished.

Be prepared to present your thesis idea/topic with a few minutes ‘elevator pitch’ (based on your short abstract) during our 01.10. session.

Deadline for the assignment is 24.9.
(There’s no session on the 24^th, but we will use the texts for dividing you into discussion groups for the 01.10. and later sessions.)
