Synopsis:- Project Seminar, Praktische Informatik.
- 2h each week, over one semester (2 SWS).
- Target Audience: Students who are interested in advanced topics of operating systems research.
How the seminar will be conducted / Credits and grading: In addition to discussing the technical (computer science) content, it is the goal of this seminar that you learn to speak in front of an audience, learn to convey ideas effectively, learn to accept feedback from the audience and use it to improve your work. The purpose of the "elevator presentation" is to (try to) express a great idea in a very short time - a skill that is certainly useful in your future professional life (it also gives your fellow student's an idea what's to come).
- Topics will be firmly assigned to interested students during the first meeting.
- During the next two meetings, every student (presenter) gives a 15 minutes elevator presentation (summary preview) of his/her topic. The audience will provide feedback regarding style and content.
- In the following weeks we'll have presentations; 1 or 2 peer meeting. Presentations will be evaluated by two members of the audience at the end of each class (Bewertungskriterien-Seminarvortrag.pdf). Please consider the following advice (copied from Prof. W. Reisig's seminar "Beauty is our business"): How to give a good talk? (German)
- Presentations may be given in English or in German. All documents are in English (exceptions may be granted). A PowerPoint template can be obtained here .
- Presenters summarize their presentation and relevant discussion on the Seminar's WIKI page within 2 weeks.
- To obtain credits for this seminar, you are expected to attend regularily.
