In writing seminar 2, we work significantly with peer review. Try to time it at a logical point in your sequence (not too early that you have little text, and not too late that you don't have time to implement changes into your text afterwards).

There will be 4 seminar 2 in Spring 2025.

You need to attend one seminar 1 and one seminar 2 to complete the master’s thesis course.

Requirements to sign-up

You are expected to have taken seminar 1 before you take seminar 2.
You need to have substantial parts of your master´s thesis written; a rule of thumb is that you need approx. 2/3 of your thesis text ready to attend this seminar (to clarify: not your proposal; there should be some development from the half-time report).

Preparations

Sign-up below
- One sign-up per thesis. If you write in a pair, you sign up together.

- If you have a pre-arranged peer review pairing: You'll be asked to write the name/names of the students in your peer group.
- If you do not have a thesis group to work with for peer review: Don't worry, we will pair you up.

- Sign-up closes about 5 working days (i.e., a week) before the seminar.
- Sign-up will close ahead of time if all the spots for that seminar are filled. If you can only make one specific day which is fully booked, email the contact person for that seminar and they will help you.
Before the seminar:
- Complete preparations on the preparations page. Make sure to read the preparation page carefully, and complete all tasks before the seminar. Preparation is compulsory and will be checked.
- Send your text to your peer review group (see details below).
- Read and comment on your peer review group’s text.

Peer review grouping

About 5 days before the seminar we will form peer review groups (for those who don't have a pre-arranged one). We will also email everyone information about who you'll work with, asking you to share your texts and pre-read + comment. It is essential that you respond to each other quickly so you have time to prepare for the seminar. Those who sign up with a pre-arranged peer review pairing are free to share their texts and start preparation work whenever you feel works best for you (and we will of course send you a reminder of the seminar and that you're working together).
