Seminal Discoveries & Developments
Paper Reading Group, WS 2013/14
The paper reading group “Seminal discoveries & developments” is the
compulsory module NES-12 ASW (Academic and scientific work). Upon
completion the participants should possess key competences in academic
and scientific work, in particular in understanding and conveying scientific
contents. The workload is 120hours per winter semester.
The students can chose from ground-breaking and – occasionally – Nobel
awarding works of the last 100 years in selected scientific fields. Every
student should prepare a presentation (~30min) of her/his topic to introduce
it to the seminar group and convey the basic ideas and results of the
discovery/development. In dialogue all attendees should have gained
knowledge of the different contents at the end of the course. The overall
grade will be the arithmetic mean of two equally counting grades, one given
for the presentation and one obtained in an oral group exam at the end of
the semester. Suggestions for topics are welcome. Some options can be
found below.
