After successful completion of the course, students are able to have said they made progress in researching, organizing, and writing their PhD thesis in a strategic and effective manner. PhD researchers at TU often have limited time to develop their theses due to other responsibilities, including teaching. Therefore, this course is designed to facilitate the accelerated and focused production of the thesis through assignments and think tank groups aimed at advancing the direct production of students' PhD work. Additionally, the course will explore other strategies for direct PhD production and advancement, including calls for papers. The course will function as a combined seminar, with students presenting short pieces of their PhD writing. It will also serve as a think tank for PhD researchers, tutors, and guests to share techniques, resources, and information.
