The course is again organised as an online-only seminar, as some of you are not yet in Germany and it is the only course in the next semester, which gives you the opportunity to work at the place where your Master's thesis is supervised.

Details:
An oral presentation is given which approaches the topic of the master thesis systematically:
i. General overview over the medical and methodological problem
ii. Narrowing the topic to a relevant core
iii. Approach and working program for the work on the problem

for a date which suits you and your supervisor: one row per person, i.e. two presentations per lesson (~30 min presentation + 15 minutes discussion). Please make sure that your supervisor takes part at the seminar when you present about your topic. The first date is blocked for an introduction in how to write and structure a Master's Thesis.
