Proseminar Spring 2025
The Institute offers four Proseminars in Theoretical Physics in Spring Semester 2025. Signing up is not on a first-come, first-serve basis but by indicating a list of preferences. The final wishlist will be processed only after the deadline on December 8, 2024.
Registration and topic assignment
All Master and Bachelor students (sixth semester) will be informed by email from the studies secretary beginning December 2024.
If you are interested in taking a proseminar in FS25, please register before Sunday December 8, 2024.
The assignment of the individual proseminar topics to registered participants will take place in four different meetings in the second half of December 2024. Registered students will be contacted with more details by the proseminar lecturers.
Format
Each student has to give a presentation (50 +10 min), and write a brief report (15-20 page) on the assigned topic. The student is supported during this process by a tutor from the Institute of Theoretical Physics who will provide guidence and feedback.
The student should contact the tutor at least six weeks prior to the talk, and have a first version of the slides ready two weeks before the talk. The written report must be completed (and approved by the tutor) at the latest two weeks after the talk.
Requirements for passing the module
- The student gives a pedagogical talk on the assigned topic, demonstrating a firm understanding of the subject.
- The written report provides a clear exposition of the assigned topic.
- The student is present during at least 80% of all the proseminar sessions.
