Objectives

The students can independently work out and understand an extended and complex issue in the field of database systems from original (English) sources and present it in the form of a presentation and also represent it in a discussion in front of a plenum. The use of different presentation techniques is weighed up, trained and practised in the plenary. As listeners, the participants are able to give their fellow students critical but fair feedback on the content and formal aspects of the presentation. In addition to the oral presentation, they can present the developed topic in writing and summarise it in the form of a short scientific article.
