Grading

Grading will be based on:

• Preparation phase.
• Written summary (~6 pages) of the presentation.
• Presentation.
• Active participation during the discussion.

Presentation + Summary

All participants are expected to give a decent presentation. During and after every lecture there will be (a) discussion(s).

Everyone has to prepare a short summary of the presentation which has to be handed out at the beginning of the talk. It should help the other participants of the seminar to understand the presentation and should contain all the important definitions and results. We recommend using the LNCS LaTeX template.

Please prepare enjoyable slides! Use a clean layout and font and include appropriate figures. Feel free to use the blackboard or projector e.g. for highlighting important facts or developing examples. Before you start working on your presentation, please read the "Guidelines for Creating Presentations" from the LaTeX-beamer userguide.

Supervision

We will provide some basic literature --- additionally we expect every participant to search for further literature! Every presentation will be supervised by one member of the chair who will always be happy to answer questions and provide guidance on how to give a good presentation. It is expected from the student to meet with his supervisor regularly (at least twice a month).
