- Prof. Janssens' Tips For Presentations, Term Papers & Thesis. During lectures over the past month or so, prof. Janssens has made a couple a remarks about presentations and term papers. Here's what I've gathered.
. Presentation. "Describe what the issue is", and then "provide a set of policy options." Finally, do some follow-up work: "provide landmarks about what is likely to happen when each of the options is followed."
. Term Paper. "It can be on any topic you like -- as long as it is has to do with US-EU Relations." "The theme of your presentation can become the theme of your term paper." "You can never be too specific; the risk is that your arguments might prove too vague."
. Thesis. "Be aware of what other people have written"; "Take into account what matters to other people."
(More material coming soon.)
