On this page, you can track the course's development over time. Once the course analysis is published, data for each course offering is displayed, including the number of registered students, course results, and planned improvements for the next session. All course syllabuses and course memos are shown on the page Archive.

Changes planned for the next course offering

We are developing several changes for the upcoming course, which include: -- Iterating on the introductory seminar to provide more guidance and techniques for reading and critiquing papers -- Adding an in-person feedback session after seminar 1 so that students get individual feedback early on in the semester -- Sharing examples of strong critiques from prior students -- Iterating on the format of the oral sessions during class

Changes introduced for this course offering
To cater for the introduction of various AI-tools, in Autumn 2023, we shifted from one-page reviews of the papers students read into oral examination in groups of students. In Spring 2024, we shifted the process into a more interactive, post-it-based, discussion within each student group, before presenting to the teacher. They mark the post-it-notes with their names and afterwards, the teachers collect them to see that all students have contributed to the discussion of each paper. This method was appreciated by the students and seem to work as a way of reviewing a paper, getting multiple perspectives, and together learn how to engage critically with academic papers. Course analysis Based on the course evaluation, the following insights arose: -- At least one of the papers should be more techy (UIST, Ubicomp-like) as the one we picked this year (Drones) was not techy enough? -- The oral examination through post-its works the best so far. It allows you to look at one another's critique and learn from that. -- The connection between critically reading a paper, writing your own, getting critique on your own text, and then using that to learn how to read up for/perform research for/write your own MSc-thesis was not 100% clear to all and will be further explained next year. -- It might be good to end the whole course with a meta-analysis of the research methods the different papers make use of. (That is, this year, the papers employed: theory-argument, literature review, sociologically-inspired interview technique, qualitative evaluation, RtD, devising a method).
