Additional information

Registration details - especially for group formation - during the preliminary discussion

In the preliminary discussion, it is also possible to jointly determine (further) key aspects of the seminar. A possible focus: "Python in the classroom".

Didactic and pedagogical basic knowledge are desired. The seminar is aimed at anyone who wants or has to lecture on computer science topics, not just future teachers.

The presentations will be held blocked on two or three consecutive days, probably at the Seminarhaus Döbling, 1190 Vienna. Guideline for the duration of the presentation: 25 minutes per group member.

Cost estimation:
15 h attendance in the preparatory phase
35 h elaboration of the term paper
20 h presentation and presence in other presentations
  5 h follow-up (documentation)
------------------------------
75 h = 3 ECTS
