### 1.2.2 Rules for Seminar

General Rules

| Teams:
|  | Two (or, as an exception), three students form a team.
|  | The team decides on the the detailed outline of the presentation, collects the material and writes the paper.
|  | The delivery of the presentation can be done in any way that divides the time about equally between the members of the team.
|  | Every team has an advisor who is always available (but do call ahead).
| Selection of Topics and Schedules
|  | The relevant list of topics available for the current term will be presented and discussed at the first few weeks of the lecture class.
|  | You may suggest your own topic.
| Preparation of the Presentation
|  | Starting material will be issued in the second week of the course, but it is the teams responsibility to find the relevant literature.
|  | The teams should consult their advisor several weeks prior to the presentation and discuss the outline and the contents of the presentation.
Presentation and Paper
| Language
|  | The presentation and the paper should be given in English language. Exceptions are possible upon demand; but vuegraphs must be in English without exception. Language and writing skills will not influence the grading.
|  | Papers must be handed in at the latest one day before the presentation in an electronic format (preferably html), and as a copy-ready paper. Very good papers written in HTML will be included in the hyperscript.
|  | Copies for the other students will be made and issued by the lecture staff
|  | Papers that are handed in at least one week before the presentation will be corrected with respect to language (this might improve the copies you hand out!)
| Presentation
|  | The presentations must not exceed 45 min. (For exceptions, ask your advisor).
|  | Presentations will be filmed if so desired (tell your advisor well ahead of time). The video is only available to the speakers.
|  | The presentation is followed by a discussion (10 - 15 min.) The discussion leader (usually the advisor) may ask questions to the speaker and the audience.
