Description of Teaching and Learning Methods

Students give a talk on a topic, followed by a group discussion on the presented material. We will especially focus on working with original
literature as well as on practicing and preparing of technical talks. To ensure relevance and up-to-date topics, usually the most interesting
out of last year's scientific articles are chosen. At the end of the course, each student is required to hand in reviews of the presented papers
covering several aspects.

Course language is English incl. all written works (reviews, presentations, etc).

Note: Depending on scheduling circumstances, the talks may be held in block meetings near the end of the semester instead of the usual
weekly rhythm. Details will be provided at the introductory meeting.
