Seminars
Seminars
An important part of the course is formed by 10 mandatory seminars, which are held in groups of approximately 20 students.
Most seminar activities involve group assignments and discussions in smaller groups of 3-5 students. These may be formed
differently in each seminar depending on the seminar leader.
Before each seminar, there is a written homework assignment that must be turned in two days before the seminar. The
seminars build on the homework assignments, which means that you must hand in the homework in order to take part
in the connected seminars. Make-up opportunities are scheduled twice during the course.
The seminars and homework assignments cover a range of topics, and sometimes form a complement to the lectures by
addressing different course goals, such as academic writing and research methodology. Practicing academic writing as preparation
for your master's thesis is a particularly important goal of the course, which is addressed mainly by the homework and seminars.
Seminar groups
The course will be organized in twelve seminar groups (Seminar group 1-12); each group has a one hour (45 mins) seminar per week. Some seminar groups will be held online, and some physically at KTH depending on the preferences of students and seminar leaders. A survey will be published
before the start of the course to find out student preferences. The group assignment for the seminars will be made available under People / Groups.
See the schedule for seminar dates and times. A detailed schedule will be added below, including rooms, zoom links, and other information. If you have a schedule conflict with another course you may swap groups with another student. In that case, you must inform both seminar leaders in advance.
- You will not be admitted if you have not prepared for the seminar by doing and submitting the homework by the deadline.
- In online seminars, you are required to attend on camera for the entire seminar for your attendance to be registered.
- You will not be admitted if you are more than five minutes late for the seminar.
Missing a seminar
If you miss a seminar, due to illness or other unavoidable circumstances, there will be a makeup opportunity in the exam week at the end of period 1 on Oct 17 (seminar 1-4) and one at the end of period 2 on Dec 20 (seminar 5-10). For the makeup seminars - please prepare as for the original seminar (review your homework for that session). Booking information for make-up seminars will be given in an Announcement.
If you have seminars left from another course round (2021 or earlier), please contact the course coordinator.
