Preparing for the Dissertation Defense
- For doctoral researchers
- Workshop
The participants already have a good level of experience in presenting their research and now want to prepare that last step. In the course of the workshop, all participants will give their presentation in front of their fellows. Each presentation will be followed by a discussion slot and an intense 360-degree feedback given by fellow participants and the trainer.
The feedback is based on the 12-Parameter Model which was designed by the firm textATRIUM specifically for evaluating academic presentations.
After the workshop, participants have a clear, realistic impression about their individual strengths, what can be changed and improved for their defense, and also strategies they can take away for future talks.
For preparation participants should bring a 5-7-minute presentation (with or without slides) that covers your PhD research and will be the topic of your defense. The opening of the talk will be important for the preparation.
