Prüfungsleistung

  • Active participation in the seminar session
  • Hand-ins for the elaboration and the slides before the respective deadlines
  • Preparation and presentation of a 30-minute talk about the topic of the assigned paper
  • Preparation of a written elaboration of the topic of the assigned paper (15 pages, LaTeX, LNCS Style)

A seminar concentrates on scientific results, but it also teaches competences required for scientific work. In particular

  • literature research
  • reading and understanding of scientific texts
  • presentation skills
  • creating a written elaboration
