| Course Objectives | The aim of the course is to make the student get into the habit of presenting the results effectively by having them do research on a particular subject, and to contribute to the healthy conduct of the thesis, which is expected to be completed in a limited time. It is envisaged that the thesis advisors, other department staff and graduate students will attend the mid-term and end-of-term presentations, if determined. During the presentations, not only the content but also the presentation techniques are evaluated, and students are tried to gain the habit of making effective presentations. If the subject of the master's thesis is specific, it is preferred that the research in the seminar course is carried out on a subject within this theme. |
