At the end of the proseminar, students have gained a basic understanding of current or fundamental aspects of a specific subfield of computer science.
In particular, they have gained basic competence in independent scientific research, classification, summarization, discussion, criticism and presentation of scientific findings.
Compared to the seminar, the focus of the proseminar is on the acquisition of basic scientific working methods.
Content
With guidance, the following will be practiced hands-on:
- Reading and understanding scientific papers
- Discussion of the scientific work in the group
- Analyzing, summarizing and reporting the specific topic
- Presentation techniques
Specific in-depth study related to the individual topic of the seminar.
The typical procedure of a proseminar is usually as follows:
- Preparatory discussions for topic selection
- Regular meetings with discussion of selected contributions
