The final presentations will be offered as a block course. Attendance is obligatory on both days!


Examination

The grade consists of
  • a short kickoff presentation (15 minutes),
  • a written report (5-12 pages),
  • an abstract for 2 other topics of the seminar (around 300 words)
    • prepared questions for these topics to be asked in the in the corresponding presentation
  • a final presentation at the end of the semester (30 minutes + 15 minutes questions)

The slides for the final presentation have to be submitted as PDF or PPT file.

The written report has to be drawed up in LaTeX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX) and BibTeX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibtex).  The compiled PDF-File plus the LaTeX and BibTeX source files have to be submitted. The written report should have 5 to 12 pages in the default paper class (\documentclass[a4paper]{article}) with additional space for pictures, and table of contents, and bibliography.

Additional information for creating scientific seminar paper with Latex are here. The LaTex file can be used as style sheet as well.

Plagiarism in the presentation and/or written report will be punished with failing the seminar. It will also be reptorted at the examination office which can lead to expulsion!

The language the written report and the 2 abstracts can be either german or english. English is the preferred language here. The presentation has to be in English.
