Description of Teaching and Learning Methods

At the beginning of the semester you will receive a set of primary literature. Then you should find and use secondary sources to research your topic assigned to you in the seminar, which should go beyond the supplied primary literature. Next to conventional sources like the internet you are required to use research journals and articles published at important conferences in the areas of databases and information systems, information management, information modelling and model management. A few weeks after receiving the primary literature, you will have to give a short presentation. The presented topic will be discussed by the seminar group for constructive feedback about the content of your talk. Then, continuously over the term, the participants will give their final long presentation about the topic area, including the secondary literature, of approx. 30 minutes. Finally, a 10-15 pages technical report describing and evaluating the topic is required by each participant. Details may vary and will be announced in the respective semester.

Requirements for participation and examination
