Seminar aus Computergraphik

Goal:

The goal of this seminar is to write and present a state of the art report and to write a review on another 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 20 minutes talk. Students will have the option to work alone or in groups of two.

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 Werner Purgathofer, 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. We strongly encourage that the reports are composed in LaTeX. The report must have a minimum of 8 written pages (15-16 pages, if students are working in groups of two). The preferred language is English.
• A written review of one of the papers of another student.
• A 20 minutes presentation in English followed by a 5 minutes discussion. The slides are to be submitted prior to the talk to organizers.
• Active discussion participation is expected after the presentation of other students.
