Goal:

The goal of this seminar is to write and present a state of the art report. A member of the teaching staff will guide and help students in acquiring the scientific material and writing the report. The students are also expected to present their work in a talk in front of their peers.

Tasks for the students:

Teaching staff will evaluate and grade students based on the following output:

  • A list of literature that a student intends to review. This document will be regarded as an official seminar registration of the student.
  • Attendance of the lectures "Forschung und wie sie funktioniert" by Professor Eduard Gröller, the lecture "Wie halte ich einen Vortrag" by Professor Hannes Kaufmann, and the lecture "Wie schreibt man eine wissenschaftliche Arbeit" by Professor Michael Wimmer. You can ask for a waiver in case you have already attended one of these talks.
  • A written state of the art report in the form of a scientific paper (in given LaTeX template). The report must be between 6-8 written pages (12-16 pages, if students are working in groups of two). The report should be written in English.
  • An oral presentation in English followed by a short discussion.
  • Active discussion participation is expected after the presentation of other students.
