Kursinformation

In this seminar, students will learn how to: (a) critically read and interpret scientific papers drawn from literature on responsible data management and responsible data science, (b) give a scientific presentation that is technically precise, concentrated on the relevant topics, and also enjoyable; (c) write a scientific analysis of an existing paper based on various sources, such as contemporary computer science journals and conference proceedings. In addition, students will learn about state-of-the art and current research topics in responsible data science and data management.

ROOM CHANGE: The seminar will take place in EN 742 on Wednesdays starting at 16.15.

Note that this seminar is limited to 8 participants. Checkout the module description and time table on MOSES for more details on the logistics.
