Seminar structure: The Master's program prepares students for an academic career, among others. In this seminar, we look at and discuss a variety of topics related to research. It is less about subject-specific aspects and more about the academic world, expected skills, examples of good and bad research, ethics, plagiarism, etc. The full list of topics will be drawn up during the semester according to interests and agreement.
The seminar has an unusual format: Two weeks are dedicated to some specific topic related to science. Participants are given a variety of reading and research material and prepare a short presentation (5-10min) for each meeting. The presentations do not have to be elaborate slides, but can also be purely oral, for example. We then discuss your input and develop the topic. No further work, such as a paper, is required.
