Note to BA/MA students (including thesis supervision)
Dear Students, Note that because I am currently mentoring/supervising many BA and MA theses (in addition with the rest of my work and personal life), I will expect you to ask for what you need, and reach out if I haven’t responded to remind me of a previous query. Please do not take personally any lapses of communication on my part — I merely am managing 100 plates in the air, and occasionally some I momentarily overlook. If you need additional help, please ask the tutors in the program, or email me to arrange a meeting, if your question or concern cannot be solved through email. Here’s a nice tutorial on how to write an effective, efficient email: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_79H2-JiuI I also recommend you take note of the Rules & Regulations (as established by the EB). Relevant here is esp §4.2.4: 4. “If plagiarism is established after an individual or group project, assignment or thesis has been submitted, or if there are grave suspicions of plagiarism (e.g. by using a plagiarism detection tool), the examiner must report this to the examination board as soon as possible, also providing evidence.” In other words, all work must be your own. If not, I am obligated to report this, whether I want to or not. So please, let’s support each other in focusing on why we’re here: learning, exploration, honing our craft.

For how to get the most out of the mentor process and prepare yourself for your next career steps, please check out this overview. I also recommend buying this book and using it as your vital guide for writing articles:
