Seminar

Description

In the seminar, participants will work on and present new fields of knowledge using selected key publications. The specific topics are introduced at the first seminar meeting.

Information about the Seminar in SoSe 26

The seminar is carried out in the usual in‑person format, because it essentially depends on face‑to‑face sessions in which presentation techniques are taught and speaking and discussion behaviour are practiced.

Participation prerequisite:

The seminar may be attended exclusively by master students.
Registration takes place via the WiWi-Portal. If too many students wish to enroll, a participant limit will be imposed. Attendance at the first in‑person session is required for participation in the seminar.

Expected course schedule*

Goals of the Seminar:

Participants should

• learn to compile the current state of the art of a subject area by means of literature search and study,
• make an own contribution to the treated topic, e.g., by evaluating different variants,
• become familiar with presentation techniques (slides, PowerPoint),
• practice successful behaviour in presentations and discussions.

Grading:

The grade is awarded based on the content and form of the seminar presentation and the written paper. The criteria are:

• clarity of the substantive structure,
• persuasiveness in word and image,
• conduct in the discussion when questions from the audience arise,
• written paper of 2 DIN A4 pages.
