The content of the practical part is a presentation is the combination of contributing as author and reviewer in a training conference, which will be held at the end of the semester. You should write a paper with scientific research. The topic shall be chosen out of the research topics presented in the lectures.The work will be handed in at the conference tool and will be reviewed by other students (you will review as well). The tool is used for real conferences around the world. The reviews will be discussed in a seminar (the program committee meeting). Finally, your paper should be amended, considering all of the comments. The course can be seen as the basis for creating a bachelor thesis, which can be done extending the practical work in this course. Additional information will be given in the preliminary lecture. More information will be given in the first introductory lecture.
