Course content

After successfully completing the module, students are able to prepare and orally present a detailed scientific topic, including an autonomous familiarization with a given scientific problem in experimental physics and the comprehensible oral presentation of a complex topic in a limited time, using well-arranged slides (e.g. power point). Additionally, the ability to participate in a scientific discussions is promoted.

Individual presentations in selected topics of theoretical physics.

Assessment Mode for Module Examination: 

• Seminar talk, 30-45 min. depending on the topic (70%)
• Active participation in seminar course (30%)

75% are required to pass the module.

Literature

Specific literature, depending on the topic, will be provided at the beginning of the seminar.
