Dear all,
The end of the semester is approaching, and it's time to start planning the seminar presentations.
As always, the most natural presentation dates are the "usual" seminar slots on Tuesday morning, specifically: - Tuesday Dec. 9, from 8:30-12:00 - Tuesday Dec. 16, from 8:30-12:00
If students are not yet ready to present, it's fine to present in January. I propose the following date: - Tuesday, Jan 20, from 8:30-12:00
If needed, we can have a "backup" presentation day in the beginning of February.
ACTION ITEM (supervisors): Please discuss the possible dates with your supervised students and just reserve the concrete time slot in our calendar. Per talk, we should reserve 30 mins., split into 15-20 mins presentation and about 10 mins. for Q&A.
ACTION ITEM (supervisors): Please also note that we have a "presentation checklist" with some DOs and DONTs, serving as a good starting point for preparing the students for their talk: https://seg.inf.unibe.ch/teaching/resources/presentation-checklist/
ACTION ITEM (all): Please mark the presentation slots in your calendar. I am not insisting on physical presence, but it's always much nicer if the students do not present their work in front of an almost empty audience.
Best, Timo
