General information

Goal:

The goal of this seminar is to learn how to write and present a state-of-the-art report and to learn how 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 front of the other students. Students are expected to work in groups of two, but if someone has strong preferences to work on their own, this is also possible. 

Tasks for the students:

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

  • An initial 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 (e.g., in other seminars).
  • 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 16 pages, if students are working in groups of two (if students are working alone, the minimum is 8 pages). The report has to be written in English.
  • A presentation in English followed by a discussion. The duration of the presentation will be announced after the literature submission deadline. The slides are to be submitted prior to the talk on TUWEL.
  • Active discussion participation is expected after the presentation of other students. This will provide bonus points for your final grade.

    • 10.04.2025 13.00-15.00: "Science and how it works", by Professor Gröller (at SEM186).
    • Recording: "How to do a presentation", by Professor Kaufmann. This lecture is provided as a video recording on TUWEL: the students can watch the video at a time of their convenience and ask questions by mail.
  • 12.05.2025: Submit the intermediate report (half of the content).
  • 16.06.2025: Presentations will be held approx. between 09:00-12:00 at SEM186 (the schedule will be concretized later). Attendance is mandatory and active participation grants you points.
  • 20.06.2025: Submit your final report on TUWEL.
  • 30.06.2025: Get your final grade. 

The deadlines are strict and no exceptions will be made. 

Grading Criteria:

  • The quality of the written report is worth 55% of the grade (15% for the intermediate report and 40% for the final report).
  • The quality of the talk is worth 40% of the grade.
  • Attendance during the lectures is worth 5% of the grade.
  • Active discussion participation is worth up to 5 bonus points.

Plagiarism:

Students are expected to abide by professional scientific ethics and make sure that the work is not plagiarizing other works (or AI-generated text) in any sense. For further information about referencing, see this guide and our guidelines. Plagiarism is a serious offense and is not tolerated!
