Term Paper

Every student has to pick a topic on which to write a short term paper. Please talk to the instructors regarding possible topics, or suggest one yourself (which could also be supervised by some faculty member who is not teaching one of the modules)! In order to avoid having to work on the term paper while also preparing for final exams in your other courses, it is recommended to pick a topic fairly early in the semester and work on it before the semester approaches its end. (That way you will also have more time to prepare your presentation.)

First submission deadline: Friday, Dec 3.
Please submit a first version of your paper to your term paper advisor. You will then get a quick feedback, and you will have the opportunity to revise your paper. You should also take into account any feedback you get while presenting your paper. The presentations will be scheduled soon; you should be prepared to give your presentation as early as Nov 24. You are strongly encouraged to submit the first version of your paper a few days before your presentation, so that you can profit from comments of your advisor when preparing the presentation.

Second and final submission deadline: Friday, Dec 17.
