Thesis Research Seminar (TRS) is a two-semester required course for graduate students on the degree tracks of Translation Studies and Bilingual Lexicography. Its purpose is to expose students to the fundamentals of research and to structure and organize the research activities that will support and inform MA and Ph.D. thesis projects. Students will experience the standards of academic rigor required for academic research and learn to work on the platform of a seminar to develop significant research topics and ideas and to conduct meaningful and focused investigations. Innovative and interdisciplinary researches that are geared to the practical needs of the society and/or contributive to the advancement of linguistic and translational studies will be especially encouraged.

Biweekly sessions will be held for
discussions on research methodology and on students’ proposed research topics,
research designs, and thesis development. Students are requested to paste their
thesis proposals and reports on the work in progress of their thesis research
into a designated online forum for peer review before presenting them in class.
Towards the end of the course, students should submit to course instructor(s)
their finalized thesis research proposal in a form.
The course marks will be determined by the following components:
(1) seeking and sharing quality research resources (10%)
(2) class attendance, raising and responding to questions, participation in classroom/online discussion and in exploratory research projects of the class (30%)
(3) research methodology presentations (30%)
(4) thesis proposal and general progress made in the thesis project (30%)
