Introductory Seminar II

Second cycle of study, master’s degree

The participants:
• are able to discuss in depth the course content of the disciplinary courses offered in the current semester
• are able to develop disciplinary content from the current semester beyond the scope of individual courses and connect it across courses
• are able to deepen their capacity for reflection in an interdisciplinary context

Active reflection on the content covered during the semester with regard to individual knowledge gaps and opportunities for deeper engagement with the material.

- Strengthening reflective capacity through reflection on the semester’s course content in an interdisciplinary context, with the aim of further consolidation and clarification of open questions. This may be achieved, for example, through advanced exercises or workshop-style formats.
- Advanced development of problem-solving competence through the deepening and integration of thematic areas across various courses, addressed in an in-depth project and thereby providing students with further insights; where applicable, this may also serve as preparation for their own scholarly work, for example in preparation for the master’s thesis. In this seminar, particular emphasis should be placed on topics related to development and engineering, as well as web- and AI-based systems.
- Linking professional-practical information with students’ own scholarly work: enabling students to connect professional experience from their field of activity with the content of the semester’s courses in a more systematic and scholarly form, which, similar to the second point, may serve as preparation for their own scholarly work.

Die relevante Fachliteratur aus dem Bereich der Web- bzw. AI_basierten Systeme wird entsprechend der gewählten inhaltlichen Schwerpunkte individuell gewählt.
