Discipline seminar - Psychology (III year) 1600-SZD-SEMIII-PS
The aim of the seminar is to assist in formulating the final version of the dissertation, presenting the results of the research comprising the empirical part, and finally, discuss the theoretical context and the research and measurement methods used in the dissertation, as well as the selection of analyses. The presentation of an advanced version of the dissertation provides an opportunity for broader discussion with other doctoral students and researchers, obtaining feedback, developing a position on controversial issues, and, as a result, incorporating them into the final version of the dissertation.
