The Master's thesis is the final assessment of a student's graduate skills and knowledge, however at the KBM Department at NMBU, supervising professors noticed students were having problems with the thesis. Roland Kallenborn recruited the assistance of the NMBU Learning Center and Writing Centre to develop a digital course to teach students how to prepare themselves to research and write their thesis. The course was offered for the first time in 2019, and Roland shared his experiences teaching the course and discussed the potential benefits to expanding the course to other departments.
