In this two part online workshop, students will learn basic strategies and techniques for time- and self-management. While the workshop is open to anyone who is interested, it will be particularly useful for students currently working on larger projects (like a bachelor- or masterthesis). In the first section of our workshop, I will explain the importance of goal setting and I will introduce you to different planning tools (milestones, personal Kanban) and working techniques (timeblocking/timeboxing, Pomodoro technique). Afterwards, students will have the opportunity to first assess their present time management strategies and then they will create their own to do lists and schedules during the workshop. There will be plenty of room for students’ questions throughout the whole workshop.
Until the second part of the workshop, students will have the chance to experiment with the techniques they learned during the first session and find out what works best for them. In our second meeting, we will talk about our experiences with time management in the previous week before I will present strategies for avoiding distractions and procrastination and for maintaining a productive working attitude.
After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must write an additional piece of work, either an outline for a term paper (3 pages) or a scholarly essay on a research topic of your choice (approx. 3 pages) and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).
Additionally, after the end of the seminar, all participants have the opportunity to make an individual consultation appointment with me either by telephone, e-mail or as a zoom meeting to clarify open questions about a current writing project and/or their struggles with time management.

In this 2 part online workshop, students will gain a basic understanding of how to engage with secondary literature productively. This workshop is designed for students who are new to doing research – no previous experience is needed. In the first section of our workshop, I will explain what secondary literature is, why it is an essential component of academic writing and where to find it. Students will then have the opportunity to get started with their research activities during the workshop and there will be plenty of room for students’ questions.
For the second part of the workshop, students will bring along the secondary texts they found, as this section will teach them how to assess secondary texts concerning their credibility and usefulness for a specific research topic. Students will also learn how to write excerpts for secondary texts that will help them to get an overview of the state of research on their research topic. Eventually, I will introduce students to different ways of referencing secondary literature in their own texts (without resorting to plagiarism), followed by several interactive writing exercises.
After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must write an additional piece of work, either an outline for a term paper (3 pages) or an annotated bibliography on a research topic of your choice (approx. 3 pages) and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).

You will also learn more about how to handle stage fright and nervousness and you will practice managing discussions with the audience. During the workshop, participants are expected to do a short presentation on a research topic of their choice. This workshop is particularly useful for students who are preparing for their first presentation at the university and/or who are preparing for an oral exam. There will be plenty of room for individual questions throughout the whole workshop.

After the workshop, those students who want to receive 3 CP/ECTS for participation must hand in additional pieces of work: a written outline for a research presentation and a self-reflection on the entire seminar.

Ihr seid nervös wegen eines anstehenden Referats auf Englisch? Ihr traut euch manchmal nicht, euch an englischsprachigen Seminar-Diskussionen zu beteiligen? Ihr wollt in eurer mündlichen Prüfung mit einer korrekten Aussprache des Englischen überzeugen?
Dieser online Workshop ist für alle Studierenden, die noch etwas unsicher sind, was ihre mündlichen Englischkenntnisse betrifft. Hier soll ein sicherer Raum geschaffen werden, um sich selbst auszuprobieren und mithilfe von Feedback der Dozentin die eigenen Fähigkeiten zu verbessern, mit dem Ziel, schließlich selbstbewusst in englischer Sprache zu kommunizieren. Obwohl der Workshop grundsätzlich allen Interessierten offensteht, ist er speziell auf die Bedürfnisse Studierender mit Deutsch als Muttersprache abgestimmt. Im Workshop wechseln sich Inputs von Seiten der Dozentin mit vielen interaktiven Sprechübungen in Kleingruppen ab. Die konkreten Fragen und Wünsche der Teilnehmenden stehen hierbei im Mittelpunkt und beeinflussen auch die letztendliche Ausgestaltung des Workshops.

This 4-day online writing retreat is designed to give students who are working on term papers (particularly bachelor’s or master’s theses) the tools, time, and space to make progress on their writing projects. Through a combination of workshops, individual support, and dedicated writing time, this writing retreat explores various writing-related topics, such as coping with typical writers’ struggles, building sustainable writing habits, and experimenting with new writing strategies. Brief presentations and discussion groups will help orient participants towards positive writing practices and create a supportive community of writers. The majority of each session will be devoted to focused, independent writing time where participants can work on their own writing projects. During this time, participants will have a dedicated space to make progress on a writing project, while in the company and solidarity of other graduate and postgraduate writers. Optional individual counselling sessions with me will provide additional support to participants.

After the workshop, those students who want to receive 3 CP/ECTS for participation must hand in additional pieces of work: an excerpt of your term paper (approx. 10 pages) and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).
Additionally, after the end of the seminar, all participants have the opportunity to make an individual consultation appointment with me either by telephone, e-mail or as a zoom meeting to clarify open questions.

Many seminars at German universities require their students to write term papers. However, what your lecturer here in Germany expects from you might be very different from what is common elsewhere.
In this online workshop, students will gain a basic understanding of academic writing for German universities. At the center of this seminar is the format of the Hausarbeit (term paper). After I have introduced you to the formal criteria of German term papers, all participants will learn how to develop own research questions, how to create an outline for your term paper and how to kick off the writing process. All participants have the opportunity to work on their own topics. For students who do not yet want to tackle a specific writing project, I will provide exercises that are more general. While the workshop is open to anyone who is interested, it is specifically tailored to the needs of international students. In the workshop, inputs from the lecturer alternate with interactive writing exercises and there will be plenty of room for individual questions.
After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must write an additional piece of work, either an exposé (for a term paper) or an essay (a short, argumentative discussion of a scholarly research question) (approx. 3 pages) and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).
Additionally, after the end of the seminar, all participants have the opportunity to make an individual consultation appointment with me either by telephone, e-mail or as a zoom meeting to clarify open questions about a current writing project.

Wie kann ich meine deutschen Bandwurmsätze in einen knackigen, englischsprachigen Fachtext verwandeln? Wie kann ich typisch „denglische“ Formulierungen vermeiden? Und was war nochmal der Unterschied zwischen „affect“ und „effect“?
Solche (und ähnliche) Fragen werden in diesem online Workshop geklärt, bei dem Studierende sich grundlegende Kenntnisse über wissenschaftliches Schreiben in englischer Sprache verschaffen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf dem Verfassen von Hausarbeiten, je nach Wunsch der Teilnehmenden kann jedoch zusätzlich auch auf andere Textsorten wie beispielsweise Versuchsprotokolle, Fallberichte o.ä. eingegangen werden. Obwohl der Workshop grundsätzlich allen Interessierten offensteht, ist er speziell auf die Bedürfnisse Studierender mit Deutsch als Muttersprache abgestimmt. Alle Teilnehmenden haben die Möglichkeit, an ihren eigenen Themen zu arbeiten. Für Studierende, die noch kein konkretes Schreibprojekt in Angriff nehmen wollen, werde ich allgemeine Übungen zur Verfügung stellen. Im Workshop wechseln sich Inputs von Seiten der Dozentin mit interaktiven Schreibübungen in Einzelarbeit ab, deren individuelle Ergebnisse im Austausch zu zweit reflektiert werden. Am Ende jeder Arbeitsphase werden in der Gesamtgruppe die Ergebnisse formuliert sowie noch offene Fragen geklärt.
Im Anschluss an das Webinar müssen diejenigen Studierenden, die 1 CP/ECTS für die Teilnahme erhalten wollen, eine zusätzliche schriftliche Arbeit verfassen, entweder ein Exposé (für eine Hausarbeit) oder einen Essay (eine kurze, argumentative Auseinandersetzung mit einer selbstgewählten, wissenschaftlichen Fragestellung) (ca. 3 Seiten) sowie eine Selbstreflexion zum gesamten Seminar (1-2 Seiten).
Zudem biete ich nach Ende der Veranstaltung für alle Teilnehmenden die Möglichkeit einer online Einzelberatung entweder telefonisch, per Mail oder ebenfalls als Zoom Meeting, um offene Fragen zu einem aktuellen Schreibprojekt zu klären.

This online workshop is designed to support students with editing and revising their term papers and/or bachelor/mastertheses. Students will get a concise overview of editing techniques that they can immediately apply to their current writing projects. We will talk about the common structures for term papers and practice streamlining your line of argumentation. You will also learn more about how to avoid plagiarism in their paper and get some practice in proofreading. At the center of this workshop are the students’ own writing projects that will be discussed in small groups. There will be plenty of room for individual questions throughout the whole workshop.

After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must hand in additional pieces of work: an outline for a term paper (approx. 3 pages) and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).
Additionally, after the end of the seminar, all participants have the opportunity to make an individual consultation appointment with me either by telephone, e-mail or as a zoom meeting to clarify open questions.

The aim of this two part online workshop, is to prepare students to write their first own articles for publication in academic journals. While the workshop is open to anyone who is interested, it will be particularly useful for (master’s degree) students who are working on getting their research published. In the first section of our workshop, I will provide students with an overview of the academic publishing process: we will discuss how to find potential publication platforms, how to avoid predatory journals and gain an overview of the different kinds of academic journals that are out there. You will also learn more about the first steps of deciding on a journal and approaching editors.
Until the second part of the workshop, students have time to start writing their own article: together we will work on finding the most effective title for your article, writing a convincing abstract and creating a clear structure for your article. I will further provide advice on editing and proofreading and we will learn more about the peer review process.
After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must hand in an additional piece of work, either an outline for a journal article (3 pages) or a scholarly essay on a research topic of your choice (approx. 3 pages) and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).

Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf dem Verfassen von Hausarbeiten, je nach Wunsch der Teilnehmenden kann jedoch zusätzlich auch auf andere Textsorten wie beispielsweise Versuchsprotokolle, Fallberichte o.ä. eingegangen werden. Obwohl der Workshop grundsätzlich allen Interessierten offensteht, ist er speziell auf die Bedürfnisse Studierender mit Deutsch als Muttersprache abgestimmt. Alle Teilnehmenden haben die Möglichkeit, an ihren eigenen Themen zu arbeiten. Für Studierende, die noch kein konkretes Schreibprojekt in Angriff nehmen wollen, werde ich allgemeine Übungen zur Verfügung stellen. Im Workshop wechseln sich Inputs von Seiten der Dozentin mit interaktiven Schreibübungen in Einzelarbeit ab, deren individuelle Ergebnisse im Austausch zu zweit reflektiert werden. Am Ende jeder Arbeitsphase werden in der Gesamtgruppe die Ergebnisse formuliert sowie noch offene Fragen geklärt.
Im Anschluss an das Webinar müssen diejenigen Studierenden, die 1 CP/ECTS für die Teilnahme erhalten wollen, eine zusätzliche schriftliche Arbeit verfassen, entweder ein Exposé (für eine Hausarbeit) oder einen Essay (eine kurze, argumentative Auseinandersetzung mit einer selbstgewählten, wissenschaftlichen Fragestellung) (ca. 3 Seiten) sowie eine Selbstreflexion zum gesamten Seminar (1-2 Seiten).
Zudem biete ich nach Ende der Veranstaltung für alle Teilnehmenden die Möglichkeit einer online Einzelberatung entweder telefonisch, per Mail oder ebenfalls als Zoom Meeting, um offene Fragen zu einem aktuellen Schreibprojekt zu klären.

This online workshop is designed to support students with editing and revising their term papers and/or bachelor/mastertheses. Students will get a concise overview of editing techniques that they can immediately apply to their current writing projects. We will talk about the common structures for term papers and practice streamlining your line of argumentation. You will also learn more about how to avoid plagiarism in their paper and get some practice in proofreading. At the center of this workshop are the students’ own writing projects that will be discussed in small groups. There will be plenty of room for individual questions throughout the whole workshop.

After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must hand in additional pieces of work: an outline for a term paper (approx. 3 pages) and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).
Additionally, after the end of the seminar, all participants have the opportunity to make an individual consultation appointment with me either by telephone, e-mail or as a zoom meeting to clarify open questions.

The aim of this two part online workshop, is to prepare students to write their first own articles for publication in academic journals. While the workshop is open to anyone who is interested, it will be particularly useful for (master’s degree) students who are working on getting their research published. In the first section of our workshop, I will provide students with an overview of the academic publishing process: we will discuss how to find potential publication platforms, how to avoid predatory journals and gain an overview of the different kinds of academic journals that are out there. You will also learn more about the first steps of deciding on a journal and approaching editors.
Until the second part of the workshop, students have time to start writing their own article: together we will work on finding the most effective title for your article, writing a convincing abstract and creating a clear structure for your article. I will further provide advice on editing and proofreading and we will learn more about the peer review process.
After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must hand in an additional piece of work, either an outline for a journal article (3 pages) or a scholarly essay on a research topic of your choice (approx. 3 pages) and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).
Additionally, after the end of the seminar, all participants have the opportunity to make an individual consultation appointment with me either by telephone, e-mail or as a zoom meeting to clarify open questions about a current writing project.

Robotics is a complex field that emerged at the intersection of multiple disciplines such as physics, mathematics and computer science. New advances in hardware and software design and progress in artificial intelligence enable robotics research to pursue higher goals and achieve increased autonomy in various environments. For instance, robots can operate in disaster zones for search and rescue operations, can be employed in rehabilitation and healthcare, space and underwater exploration, etc. Given the complexity of such scenarios, it is essential to develop robust robotic systems with a high degree of autonomy, able to assist humans in difficult and tedious tasks.

This course aims to provide the fundamentals of modern robot control approaches that enable robotic agents to operate in the environment autonomously. The course introduces a basic understanding of autonomous robots, along with tools and methods to control various types of mobile robotic platforms and manipulators. Firstly, the course presents the types of sensors and actuators employed in autonomous robotic platforms. Secondly, it offers a formal understanding of the robot geometry, its kinematic and dynamic models. Finally, the course provides methods and approaches to control the robotic system from a deliberative and reactive point of view. Students will put this knowledge into practice during tutorials and exercise sheets using Python implementation and robot simulations.

Contents

• Introduction to Robotics and AI: long term robot autonomy, artificial intelligence, deliberative vs. reactive control, robotic applications.
• Sensing and Actuation Modalities: types of sensors and actuators, sensor fusion, actuator control.
• Robot Geometry and Transformations: robot transformations in the 3D space, exponential and logarithmic maps, forward and inverse geometric models.
• Kinematics: definition of twists and wrenches for rigid bodies, geometric Jacobian formulation, forward and inverse kinematics.
• Dynamics: an introduction to Lagrangian and Newtonian mechanics, robot dynamics formulation, recursive Newton-Euler algorithm.
• Localization: direct and probabilistic methods for robot localization, odometry, global localization, particle filter.
• Path Planning: path vs. trajectory generation, graph-based methods for path planning (e.g. Djikstra, A\*).
• Kinodynamic Planning: transcribing a dynamic planning problem into trajectory optimization, direct and indirect methods, costs and constraints.
• Reinforcement Learning-based Control: mathematical foundations, discrete vs continuous methods, reinforcement learning for closed-loop robot control.
• Dynamic Control: PD gravity compensation control, computed torque control, admittance vs impedance control.
• Optimal Control: energy-shaping control, LQR and time-varying LQR control.

The aim of this course is to create an understanding of the major aspects of sports applications. The course is split into two parts: the first half has a classic lecture/tutorial style, whereas the second half will focus on the creation of individual sports applications.

The lectures will explain the necessary fundamentals, such as sensor technology, user feedback, and the conduction of empirical studies, along with a number of inspiring examples.

In the project part, own prototypes for sports applications are developed in small groups. The exact application as well as the technical implementation approach can be chosen freely. The final graded outcome of the course will be a small sports application about which a presentation has to be held and a documentation in a scientific paper style has to be written.

The course will be held in English.

Seminar Language: English

Communities that form around digital games and gaming have become increasingly significant. We may have heard of the ‘toxic’ communities of competitive games like League of Legends, the very young community of Roblox or Minecraft, the friendly history nerds of the Total War series, and so on. Perhaps most impactfully, GamerGate showed us that gaming communities can have very serious and far-reaching consequences. On the other hand, game communities formed around games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Among Us at the beginning of the pandemic demonstrated that they can also be a lifeline in difficult and uncertain times. In this seminar, we will focus on how these communities are formed and maintained. We will examine three crucial aspects of community formation: the affordances of particular games, the strategies developers use to create and engage with communities (or not), and the players themselves.

In this course, we will explore different genres of computer-mediated communication, including social networking sites, (micro-)blogs, online comments, and online reviews. We will consider the social practices that occur in these genres, and discuss the ways in which language is variously shaped, re-worked, and constrained by them. Throughout the semester, we will investigate concepts such as identity construction, intertextuality, anonymity and privacy, multimodality, and multilingual practices, to name a few. You will work on small assignments throughout the semester to get hands-on experience with researching digital discourse and social practices online.

By the end of the course, you will be able to
• explain central concepts relevant to the field of CMC
• apply research methods in CMC
• evaluate ethical issues related to CMC
• analyze digital discourse
• describe digital practices across genres and platforms

In this course empirical methods for the analysis of varied media will be introduced and then developed specifically in the context of selected audiovisual, visual and verbal media. A specific focus will be placed on examining to what extent such media products 'tell stories', either deliberately or by accident, and the consequences of such stories for their reception by audiences. One particular area of concern will be narratives that (either intentionally or unintentionally) 'disinform' their audiences by setting up narrative expectations of various kinds. These kinds of uses will be addressed empirically in concrete analysis. The course meshes broadly with an ongoing research project on 'fake narratives', whose progress can be followed at: https://fakenarratives.github.io/ Participants will be encouraged to engage with the method of analysis being developed in this project and so receive firsthand experience in research methods. The qualitative and quantitative methods introduced are, however, generally applicable to many research questions and media. Dedicated sessions will introduce several of the empirical quantitative methods that can be employed for improving the reliability and generalisability of qualitative studies regardless of research question.

Whether it is coping with ‘Peak Oil’, meeting the challenge of climate change, helping farmers in poorer countries through fair trade, or finding ways to keep discarded products out of the landfills, sustainability issues are the biggest challenges facing businesses. The course shows how the complexities of sustainability issues can be integrated into marketing. The systematic, step-by-step approach of sustainability marketing involves: an analysis of socio-ecological priorities to complement conventional consumer and market research; an integration of ethical values into marketing strategy; the development of sustainability marketing strategies; a new consumer-oriented sustainability marketing mix of the ‘4 Cs’ (Customer Solutions, Communications, Customer Cost, Convenience) to replace the outmoded and producer-oriented ‘4 Ps’; and finally an analysis how innovation and marketing can go beyond responding to social change to contribute to a transformation to a more sustainable society. The course is ideally suited to both students and practitioners at many different levels and disciplines, including marketing, innovation, CSR, sustainability and environmental management.
