  • You shall produce a paper and presentation foils. Deliveries shall be made at the corresponding deadlines (given at the first meeting). At the end of the semester you present the topic in a seminar talk. The duration of the talk should be approximatly 30 minutes. A small discussion of up to 15 minutes will follow your talk.
  • Everything shall be written in your own words, either in german or english. The paper shall contain between 25 and 30 pages.

  • Each student participating in the seminar has to be present at all seminar presentations.
