After successful completion of the course, students are able to

- properly structure and write their master thesis proposal 

- properly prepare a research presentation describing results of their master thesis. 

This seminar involves the following tasks:

1. Presentation and discussion of the Master thesis proposal (10 min + 10 min discussion). Based on the received feedback, students should be able to develop a sound and coherent proposal (Diplomarbeitsanmeldung) of their master thesis.
2. Presentation of the most important results of the Master thesis (20 min + 10 min discussion). After this presentation, using the received feedback, student should be able to prepare a convincing presentation to be eventually presented within their Master thesis defense.

The seminar will consist of individual meetings with student and in-class presentations of students, presenting results of their master thesis. These presentations are meant to train and support students in revising the talks of their master thesis defense. 

The seminar is mandatory (and recommended) only for students finalizing their master studies after 2020 November.
