Extent (ECTS/SWS) 3/2	Assessment Exercise 1 Week (not graded)
Content This course aims to systematically reflect the internship done by each student and especially to advise them with their written assignments to be submitted. To this end, we will discuss the entire process of scientific writing, address each particular step in more detail, and deduce general guidelines towards a smooth implementation into practice. Furthermore, this course provides a thorough introduction to the use of LaTeX, a typesetting system widespread throughout the scientific community.
Recommended reading Slides provided by lecturer, individual notes taken by students General literature on scientific writing (e.g., "Writing scientific English" by Tim Skerns) General literature / online tutorials on the LaTeX typesetting system
Comments Students are expected to attend this course regularly and to actively take part in discussions and practical lab exercises. To pass this course, they must further submit their written assignment by the end of the course (meeting the demands specified by the lecturer in the first session).
