Please register for the course in MOSES (Prüfungsanmeldung) to secure a spot. Registration in ISIS will not be considered binding.

The module grade is calculated based on

1. The quality of a scientific presentation (50%).
2. Online quiz (50%).

Each student will present a body of work (typically 1-2 research papers) around a topic within 25 minutes. Students are expected to address any feedback raised by the supervisors in their presentations. Students are also eligible for two consultations of 30 minutes with one or more of the supervisors. A prerequisite for consultations is that all relevant material has been read.
