Omid Noroozi Doctor Cum Laude

On January 11, 2013, Omid Noroozi successfully defended his dissertation ‘Fostering Argumentation-Based Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning in Higher Education’. The promotion committee decided to grant Omid the distinction ‘Cum Laude’, which is very special, because only 3% of all PhD candidates of Wageningen University get this disctinction. Congratulations Omid.

Co-promotor was Dr. Harm Biemans. The defence was chaired by Prof. T. van Boekel as Deputy Rector Magnificus.

The jury consisted of:

Prof. P. Häkkinen
Prof. J. van Merriënboer
Prof. H. Tramper
Prof. T. Schellens

The dissertation was additionally reviewed by:

Prof. P. Dillenbourg
Prof. P. Kirschner

I appreciate their support.
