Final paper: how to organize yourself

‘How do I choose my dissertation topic?’ ‘How do I write it?’. ‘I have blank page block: what do I do?’. And again: ‘Is it better to do a dissertation in the library or in the ground?’ Or: ‘What should I do to not get anxiety seizures in front of the commission?’

The answers to all these questions will come during the Stress-free Graduation seminar, offered to students and undergraduates of all degree courses, which aims to:

  • summarize in a practical way strategies and ways to find the information we need for the thesis, and to know how to communicate it in the best possible way;
  • consolidate the main skills of organizing time and priorities in the management of work;
  • promote a specific competence in the field of written communication;
  • develop effective communication techniques on a presentation and discussion level, with special attention to scientific information; 
  • discover library services useful for writing the final paper.

The seminar is aimed mainly at students of the third year of the Bachelor's Degree and the second year of the Master's Degree, but is also open to students who attend previous years.
