Closing Seminar January 25-26, 2007, 10.00 – 12.00

During the course each student should prepare a term paper and present it at the closing seminar.

The term paper should be reviewed by at least two reviewers also participating in the course.

The paper may not exceed 10 printed pages.

Each term paper gets a 30 minutes slot in the program (20 minutes presentation and 10 minutes discussion.) The discussion will be started by the reviewers. We have time for a little longer presentation if needed.
