Description | During the writing process, researchers rely on feedback to improve their texts. Feedback from their fellow researchers plays a crucial role: in order to get what they need from their peers, doctoral candidates need to learn the rules of productive feedback. In so doing, they also learn how to provide constructive criticism to others. As a result, the writers return to their work with renewed motivation and clear ideas for how to continue with their writing. In this workshop the doctoral candidates will reflect on feedback in its different forms. They will practice how to ask for, give, receive, and use feedback among their peers, in order to strengthen one of their crucial competences.
Method and Preparation The workshop is based on discussions and feedback exercises. Participants may bring their laptops. Intended Audience The workshop is suitable for doctoral candidates of all levels and disciplines. An interdisciplinary group of participants has the advantage that it focuses more on the feedback process than on research topics, theories, or methods. |
