Seminar on selected topics in the area of Media and Human-Centered Computing. Students are instructed to research relevant literature, read and discuss scientific literature critically, present scientific information in writing and speech.

In the course of the seminar and through individual monitoring, students will be familiarized with the procedure of literature research, critical assessment and follow-up work by writing a seminar paper. Although approaches will depend on the selected topic of the paper, students should focus on scientific literature in English. The students receive feedback on an intermediate version of their work, which will be the abstract of the seminar work including the presentation of the abstract. Another important aspect of this seminar will be the practicing of students' presentation skills, as there is individual feedback given after the final presentations.
