Preparing for your Stage One Assessment

This practice-oriented workshop focuses on the ways that a thesis or dissertation can be set-up and organised structurally across disciplines, as well as considering the concept and principles underlying writing 'flow' (taking a whole text / discourse view). It looks primarily at the traditional question-based doctorate, and secondarily at the thesis by publication and the doctorate in creative arts (DCA).

As you approach the end of each stage in the UTS Doctoral Study Framework DSF, you will be required to undertake a formal assessment to determine whether you can progress to the next stage.

Each faculty will have its own format of assessment at each of the stages, but you should expect to submit some written work as well as give an oral presentation of your work to date.

This workshop covers for both the oral and written components:

• Criteria for assessment
• What you need to provide
• How you should provide it
• Preparation strategies

The session also provides the opportunity to discuss with others your research project, and to do some planning according to the Stage One assessment criteria.
