• Upload your assignment

Students will be graded provided that the following requirements are fulfilled:

• Attendance to at least 3 talks (signature on the list of participants).
• Submission of assignment.

Preferably, students attend 4 (or more) talks, choose 3 of those for their report and give a summary of at least 2 pages for each.
For students who can only attend 3 talks this summary must comprise at least 3 pages for each talk.

Additional note: Due to the fact that the presentation slides of Matti Tedre are not available, students who attended his talk may look for a related paper of Matti Tedre and summarize his talk based on the paper.

Talks will be offered both in winter term 2019/20 (three talks) and summer term 2020 (plan is to have another three), and any combination of all those may be chosen.

The reports should be written in English and in latex (a template will be provided in TUWEL). The deadline for submission of the assignment is July 31st at 23:55h through TUWEL.
