After successful completion of the course, students are able to present material they have studied or the results of their own scientific research in talks or at conferences in an understandable and attractive way.

Over the course of the seminar all participants will give short presentations on topics of their choice (typically but not necessarily about topics they have treated themselves during work projects, in a bachelor thesis etc.). The other participants and the seminar lecturer will then discuss the positive and negative aspects of the presentation so that everybody will learn both from their own mistakes and from the mistakes of others. This seminar is by no means a lecture on pedagogics but offers a chance to acquire first-hand practical experience in the communication of scientific knowledge.
Presentations and discussions can be held in either German or English.

Presentations to be prepared and delivered by the students themselves and participation in the discussion of the presentations given by the other participants.

Each participant has to give at least two presentations. Please already prepare a presentation for the first meeting!  Ideally, this can concern a diploma, bachelor's or project thesis but it can also be on another topic, and should last for about 20 minutes. Slides can be made in Powerpoint, OpenOffice etc, you can also use a blackboard. Language: English or German.
