Presentation(s)
Assessment description
The students get an introductory lecture on each of the six topics. For each topic they get recent papers about a selected subject and study these papers. They then present and evaluate in an oral presentation the main findings and conclusion of these papers. They will receive feedback on their presentations. The grades for the presentations determine the final grade.
