Afraid of your thesis? With Julia Thissen

What it is about

The thesis is due, but instead of motivation come self-doubt, procrastination and the question of how to manage it all. In the fourth episode of Fernstudium Talk, hosts Lars Ritter and Nina Leidigkeit talk with Julia Thissen, founder of bachelorarbeit-done, about why major assessments become a hurdle for so many students and what helps to get started anyway.

The conversation covers how to plan a thesis without overwhelming yourself at the outset, how to stay motivated over months, perfectionism, and what separates stressed writing from relaxed writing. It also takes on the topic hardly anyone in academic work can avoid any more: what role can ChatGPT and other AI tools play in a thesis, where do they offer real support, and where are their limits? Julia Thissen closes with advice for everyone who still has their thesis ahead of them.
