May's first Weekend Thesis Undertaking

What is a Weekend Thesis Undertaking? Weekend Thesis Undertaking (WTU for short) is a weekend dedicated to writing your thesis. Why? Because peer pressure works! So take your laptop with you, bring yourself to the Student Lounge in university library, meet others who are also battling with their Master’s or Bachelor’s thesis, set your goals for the weekend and share them with the others. Then, just get to work! On Sunday, we will check how well the goals have been reached.

WTU is organised in Väite (B248) in the university library. Breakfast on Saturday and Sunday will be served in Student Lounge (BYP23.1) in the university library. This event is a bit shorter compared to the event organized in Kortepohja because of the library opening hours.
