During the Konversatorium you will present your thesis and receive feedback on it. In addition, you will attend the presentations of your peers and provide feedback to them.

Please note: While the course will be held via video-conference if the situation requires it, the mode of assessment will remain the same.

Guidelines for your presentation:
Length: 15 minutes for the presentation of your slides + 10 minutes Q&A
