(in Polish) Seminarium magisterskie IV WH-FW-II-2-SemMag
Course description
Master’s seminar IV constitutes the final stage of work on the master’s thesis and focuses on its completion and preparation for the defence. During the course, students finalise the analysis of their research material, formulate their final conclusions, and edit and revise the thesis in accordance with formal and methodological requirements.
The course includes individual consultations with the supervisor and discussion of successive sections of the thesis. Particular attention is paid to structural coherence, linguistic and stylistic accuracy, the appropriateness of the research methods used, precision of argumentation, proper use of relevant literature, and compliance with academic standards.
Depending on the profile of the thesis, students complete the analysis of literary texts or linguistic phenomena, placing them within an appropriate theoretical and cultural context. The seminar leads to the completion and submission of the master’s thesis and prepares students for its defence.
