Introductory Seminar I

Second cycle of study, master’s degree

The participants:
• can discuss in depth the course content of the subject-specific academic courses offered in the current semester
• can develop subject-specific academic content from the current semester beyond the scope of individual courses and connect it across courses
• can 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 in-depth engagement with the material

- Strengthening reflective capacity by reflecting on the content of the semester’s courses in an interdisciplinary context in order to further consolidate learning and clarify open questions. This may be accomplished, for example, through advanced exercises or workshop-style formats.
- Advanced development of problem-solving competence through the deepening and integration of subject areas across different courses, which are addressed in an in-depth project and thereby provide students with further insights; where appropriate, 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 subject areas related to development and engineering, as well as web- and AI-based systems.
- Linking professional practice-related information with students’ own scholarly work: enabling students to connect professional experiences from their field of activity with the content of the semester’s courses in a more systematic and scholarly form, which, similar to point 2, 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.
