Course Objectives
Students are required to give a seminar on their thesis subject. The presentation must reflect a literature survey on the research topic and planned contributions to the subject together with the preliminary results of research work as well as a plan of the work to be carried out. Student performance is evaluated according to the depth of understanding of the research topic. the style of presentation. and the progress report submitted.
Course Content
Ph.D. students study and present a current topic under the guidance of a faculty member. Each paper is followed by a round table discussion participated in by the Ph.D. students and members of Faculty.
Course Learning Outcomes
Student, who passed the course satisfactorily will be able to:
- prepare a pre-defense presentation,
- get a technical presentation experience,
- plan their thesis studies for the remaning semesters after getting a feedback from the jury,
- have an understanding of other students' thesis work.
- understand what is expected in a PhD study
