Forwarded message from KTH
Here is the spring semester's program for degree project workshops and lunch webinars arranged by the library and the Center for Academic Writing and Rhetoric.
Please feel free to spread this information to course coordinators, teachers and students
Writing a degree project report can be a challenging experience. To support you in the different phases of producing the report, the Centre for Academic Writing and Rhetoric and KTH Library will offer a series of three workshops during the spring semester 2023. You may sign up for one, two, or all three workshops; however, we will give priority to those who attended earlier workshops if they are fully booked.
The workshops will include short presentations on relevant themes, time to work with these themes on your own degree project report, and possibilities to get individual support. The presentations during the workshops will be held in English; however, individual support can be given in Swedish or English.
