In consultation with the lecturer, each participant will choose and present one scientific article and lead the discussion on the content. “Presenting” does NOT mean a classical presentation (e.g. powerpoint), but to summarize the main findings and prepare the basis for an interactive discussion. Details and support on the preparation will be given in the lecture/practical course. Without fulfilling the demands in the practical trainings, students will not be admitted to the written exam! |
