What we’ll do together:
We’ll experiment and step a little outside of our usual presentation habits.

We’ll listen to each other and make use of the peer group’s expertise. We’ll give each other supportive feedback. And maybe we’ll discover a trick or two to help you handle nervousness more calmly—or even start to look forward to your next presentation.

What you should bring with you:
A bit of courage to try something that may feel unusual at first.

It would also be helpful to bring a specific situation or a text for an upcoming presentation—or one from the past that you found unsatisfying.

Content: Compared to a term paper, a thesis often seems like a bigger hurdle. In this workshop, you’ll get to know various exercises that help you develop a topic and a research question. We’ll work our way from brainstorming, through narrowing down the topic, to formulating a precise research question. Toward the end, we’ll also touch on the next steps in the process (e.g., outlining, literature research).

You’re welcome to join whether you already have a topic idea or don’t know where to start at all. Since we can only go through these work processes as examples during the workshop, the most important thing to bring is an openness to engage with the exercises and make some preliminary decisions.

Target group: Students of all disciplines at Hochschule Bremen who are writing their thesis this semester or next.
