Q1: Is our presentation grade based entirely on the peer evaluation, or is it also completed by you and/or our thesis supervisor?

A1: The final grades will be determined entirely by me by using the rubric. While I will review the peer feedback, it will not directly influence the grading. The first thesis supervisor is not involved in this process: they are responsible for Part 1 and Part 2 of your thesis and will grade your Master’s thesis project in collaboration with the second supervisor.

Q2: Is the target audience of the presentations fellow students in the DASC program, or a general audience (not necessarily from the field)?

A2: The target audience consists of your fellow students in the DASC program. However, since they may work in different subfields, they might not be familiar with the specific concepts covered in your literature review. I recommend treating them as a slightly more knowledgeable general audience that is familiar with the field but not necessarily with the specific details of your topic. Providing sufficient context is essential here.

Q3:Is it possible to consult the presentation with you before submitting it? Or should this be done independently, or with our thesis supervisor?

A3: You should consult your peers and thesis supervisors for feedback. Since I am responsible for grading, I will not provide guidance before submission. Once you have a draft, I strongly recommend asking your supervisors for input before recording your final version.
