During the colloquium, they will present their plans, peer review each other’s work, and share research experiences. The feedback allows them to improve their work.The MA-colloquium consists of three meetings. During the first meeting students present their topic, planning and contract. During the second meeting students present their introduction and research question and receive feedback from fellow students. During the third meeting students will present a preliminary version of (a substantial part of) their thesis and receive feedback from a lecturer who is not involved as their supervisor.
