Midterm evaluation at HV

The purpose of this evaluation is to see if you (the candidate) are on track in terms of time and research development. In addition, the candidate will receive feedback on the PhD work up to the point of the midway evaluation. The candidate also gets to practice communicating professional content.

With these purposes, the midway meeting has seemingly a form of an evaluation. However, we truly hope that this meeting serves as a helpful part of the PhD-education to help the candidate reach the plan for delivery of the thesis within the normative frame or timetable.

Presentation

The midway presentation must be conducted in English if the disputation is planned to be held in English. The presentation is followed by a discussion on current progress between the PhD candidate, the internal evaluator, and the supervisor (second evaluator). PhD-administration will chair the meetings.

• Your presentation should take 20 minutes, with focus on the project progress and the results up to date.
• Your presentation will be followed by a discussion of approximately 40 minutes; 30 minutes for the internal evaluator and 10 minutes for the supervisor (second evaluator).
• Last 5 minutes are planned for the administrative follow-up.
• If there is any time left, other supervisors present might be given the word.

Abstract

• You must submit an abstract of 1000 - 1500 words to your evaluators – with CC to the  PhD administration phd-hv@oslomet.no 1 week before your presentation, at the latest.
• This abstract should consist of research questions, methodology, research results, and your research plan.
• In addition, you should inform about the status on your training component (opplæringsdel) and submitted, accepted and/or articles under review.
