Note: this page needs to be revised. If you have any questions please write an email (see contact information on the bottom).

The allocation of the seminar topics is made through an online-allocation-portal that you can find HERE.

If you got a seminar theme via online-allocation-system, contact the organiser immediately, see section "Contact".

Note: this needs to be revised for the current semester. Coming soon!

If you participate the seminar at the Institute of Scientific Computing, the following rules are applied.

• You have a continuous period of three months to work on your seminar topic. The start of this period is fixed at the first meeting. You will be assigned an assistant of the institute, who will be the first address for questions relating to the seminar.
• You shall produce a paper and presentation foils. Deliveries shall be made at the corresponding deadlines (given at the first meeting). At the end of the semester you present the topic in a seminar talk. The duration of the talk should be approximatly 30 minutes. A small discussion of up to 15 minutes will follow your talk.
• Everything shall be written in your own words, either in german or english. The paper shall contain between 25 and 30 pages.
• The foils shall be made so that a reasonable presentation of the topic can be performed in the given time.
• Each student participating in the seminar has to be present at all seminar presentations.
• Detailed dates will be defined at the first meeting.
• Use the document templates of the institute. See download.

The time one needs for a seminar shall be equivalent with the time one needs for a 2 hours lecture with excercises and homeworks (4 credits). One credit is equivalent to 30 hours of work, i.e. for a seminar (4 credits) one has to plan 120 hours of work (3 weeks (Mo-Fr) with 8 hours per day).
