Subject: MSc Behavioral Science thesis development session
Hi all,
Tomorrow, Tuesday March 25th 1-4pm room 3a142, students will present their MSc Behavioural
Science dissertation ideas.
Each student has 10 minutes to present their proposal.
This is a useful opportunity to find a good match between supervisors and students. It is
also a good moment to prompt students to focus their question more closely to your
research expertise and interests.
For those who cannot make it in person, it would be great to have you drop in online.
Here's the Teams link:

See you tomorrow!

Do you want to send the invite to staff and PhD students? I don't think people know.
Cheers,
Leo

When the last thesis development session had to move to accommodate the DCM, I thought it
best also to change this one so as to avoid potential clashes. I announced the change back
then so there is no disruption to students

Hi Dave,
Just double-checking. We had also reserved the Wednesday March 26 afternoon for this on
BSMP003. But you are organising this on Tuesday. That's fine by me. I can let the PhD
Lab know as some wanted to join.
Cheers,
Leo

________________________________
To give you all time to present for 10 minutes each, we have a three hour timeslot. We are
provisionally booked for rm 3a142 from 1-4pm (email will follow if this room changes).
Please send your slides to me by 9pm Monday24th March, with the naming format
[yourname.ppt] It is up to you how you wish to use your 10 min presentation time. A good
model is to treat this as an opportunity to sensecheck your dissertation proposal (which
is ungraded but is a very useful document). Here is an overview of what is required of a
dissertation proposal (criteria are in parentheses): One model would be for you to present
7-8 slides that correspond to numbers 1-7 above. We recommend you also include a slide
with a graph depicting hypothesised results. In the proposal itself, we expect that about
half of the up-to-2000 word total will be devoted to describing in as much detail as
possible the methods and analyses you will employ. We will be able to give you more
precise feedback if you come to Tuesday's session with two or three slides describing
in concrete detail your methods and analysis. (The analysis slide could be a copy and
paste of a pre-registration such as that we did for the 007 experiment). Don't worry
if your dissertation idea seems to you to not yet be at the level of development that you
could immediately graft it on to this template. It is normal that some students will have
ideas that are not sufficiently settled that they can present them as concretely as is
described above. But for those of you who already know more or less what your
dissertation is going to measure, you will find you make a lot of progress by spending
some time over the next few days expressing your ideas on to the template described above.
There is no requirement on you to present slides according to this template, of course.
But merely going through the exercise of thinking about your research through the headings
above will serve to clarify your thinking, identify blindspots, troubleshoot weaknesses
and help you identify opportunities. Looking forward to seeing your presentations on
Tuesday 25th
