Teaching

We believe that effective learning is supported by strong theory, an open atmosphere, and the opportunity to try everything out in practice. 

We hold seminars and proseminars in the form of a "discussion seminar".  All seminar participants meet every two weeks for a session in which, after a short introduction, a specific topic is freely discussed. For each session, corresponding papers have to be worked through, which are announced in advance. For each paper, a seminar participant prepares a short presentation (~10 min), which is presented to the seminar at the beginning of the corresponding session. The final grade for the proseminar evaluates the quality of the discussion contributions, the short presentation as well as a short written paper, which has to be prepared at the end of the seminar.
