The evaluation of the module performance is composed as follows:

  • 67 percent on the written output
  • 33 percent on oral performance (lecture, oral participation in discussions and moderation)

In order to pass the seminar, both partial performances must be passed with at least sufficient marks.
The application for a seminar place can be made until 22.10.2018, 12:00 o’clock and contains the indication of three topic desires, the modules occupied so far inclusive note and the current number of subject semesters. Please send an email to Prof. Dr. Sven Laumer.

The seminar will be held in English. This means that the seminar papers must be written in English and the seminar lectures must be given in English. Group discussions can also be held in English if international students are part of the project group.

Please also note that you have time and must be present at the appointments with compulsory attendance. In case of absence you will be excluded from the whole seminar and your admission to this seminar expires.
