Proof of performance or coursework

As part of the seminar, a seminar contribution must be presented, which includes a presentation and a corresponding handout. Both must be submitted in advance, e.g. in digital form, as part of an obligatory preliminary meeting. The preliminary meeting takes place approx. 1 week before the respective seminar date (please clarify with the lecturers). Based on this, the planning may need to be fine-tuned. After the seminar, an extended or summarized elaboration must be prepared, which also contains the results and food for thought of the seminar itself.
