Starting Point

This workshop empowers teaching staff who supervise students’ Bachelors or Masters theses to become more reflective and confident in their professional practice. Participants reflect on their roles as supervisors, and how these change during long-term writing and supervising processes. Issues of professional identity are discussed. The specific role of constructive text feedback is highlighted. Likewise, the workshop offers tips, tricks, and practical support for making supervision more productive and goal-oriented. All these aspects can be transferred to ongoing supervision processes immediately.
