Discipline seminar - Security Studies & Political Science and Public Administration (II year) 1600-SZD-SEMII-BPA
A seminar is a subject taught by a coordinator in a given discipline (from the doctoral degree upwards), appointed by the leading UW units of the discipline in consultation with RND. The class is mandatory, addressed to all doctoral students (i.e., all years) in a given discipline. The subject consists of doctoral students meeting systematically to present their research and discuss it. It is also possible to attend lectures/seminars by outstanding scientists from a given discipline, but working in other national or foreign units than the leading unit (these lectures are organized by the coordinators). As part of the course: first-year doctoral students discuss the concept, research issues, research hypotheses and structure of the dissertation; second- and third-year doctoral students discuss the progress of their research work, presenting excerpts from the dissertation (e.g., research results, conclusions from the literature review) and publication, conference and project achievements. Fourth-year doctoral students summarize their dissertation (e.g., main research results, research problems solved, verification of research hypotheses, publication and conference progress). The subject serves to integrate all doctoral students, offers the opportunity to discuss the dissertation in a broader group from different perspectives and opportunities for collaboration. It allows systematic verification of progress and has a motivational value. For the comfort of the participants, classes with discussions should not have more than 20 people in a group. This means that the subject should
This means that the subject should be related to the number of doctoral students in the discipline. The lecture of a prominent scientist in the seminar should be common to all doctoral students of the discipline, but there is a possibility that doctoral students from another discipline may take part in it.
