Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course gives an overview of research undertaken by physics graduate students. The course offers a place to connect with students from other groups and gain an understanding of the research directions in the respective fields. Furthermore, students will refine their presentation skills in the academic context. Students will enhance their collaboration skills by giving talks on research challenges they confront and discussing strategies to overcome them with their peers. Individual feedback by the course instructors and the other participants will be given for each presentation. Further skills regarding the design and presentation of posters will be acquired.
This course is open to students from theoretical, computational or experimental physics and to both PhD and MSc students. Where possible students are encouraged to present their own research projects. The language of communication is English.

Dear course participants,

Artificial intelligence (AI, such as "ChatGPT") can be a helpful tool to complement the creative process and independent thinking. In this seminar, we want to encourage you to keep a critical approach in this regard. Thus,
1. We will add on Moodle material on AI related copyright on text and images and usage rules, please read them!
2. When you use AI, please tell us. We want to know how it supported your creative process.
3. Question the gained information thoroughly
These rules apply throughout the seminar, including all additional project work related to the seminar."

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Each student is required to give one scientific talk using presentation slides, create and present one scientific poster, complete occasional short assignments, provide active peer feedback and to critically discuss scientific feedback. The students are free to choose the software to create the slides and poster.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Requirement for a positive grade: attendance (at most three sessions can be missed with prior explanatory statement), substitute achievements by agreement, giving one scientific talk using presentation slides, creating and presenting one scientific poster and answering to the scientific feedback.

The partial achievements are assessed according to the scientific soundness, accessibility for students from different fields and response to peer feedback:
- Active participation (peer feedback): 20 points
- Slide design: 15 points
- Slide presentation: 15 points
- Poster design: 15 points
- Poster presentation: 15 points
- Assignments: 20 points
The grading will follow the scheme:
- 1 (excellent) 100 – 90 points
- 2 (good) 89 - 81 points
- 3 (satisfactory) 80 – 71 points
- 4 (sufficient) 70 – 61 points
- 5 (insufficient) 60 – 0 points
