Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
1. Students chose their topic and topic lecturer during the preparatory meeting and get in contact with them after the preparatory meeting
2. Students are guided by their chosen topic lecturer. They can ask for help and advice.
3. Each student gets one topic-related review paper from their topic lecturer and must search for at least two more original articles. Information from the 3 papers in total is presented in the seminar
4. Presentations shall be 20-25 min. In addition, a hand-out page is sent to all participants one day before the seminar.
5. The presentation is then discussed with the audience in terms of its scientific content (like with conference talks). All students participate in the discussion. Quiet and passive students will be actively asked by the lecturer to comment.
6. There will be also anonymous feedback to each speaker related to the presentation style. There will be a form (provided by the lecturer) with about 10 questions (clarity of argumentation, rhetoric quality, quality of slides, presentation speed, ...). The audience will fill them during/right after each presentation. At the end forms are collected and provided to the speakers.
7. As a home work, students prepare a summary page containing of (1) a mini summary (5 sentences), and in addition (2) the answers to questions that were not sufficiently addressed in the discussion, plus (3) some future research avenues.
8. The final grade combines ratings in 5 aspects: (1) Literature search, (2) Hand-out, (3) Presentation, (4) Discussion, (5) Summary page
Finally, the 5 ratings are summed up and divided by 5 to result in the final mark.
