STUDENT SEMINAR

OBJECTIVES

to give an opportunity to the students to present either their research project or a published paper that is of particular interest
to give an opportunity to graduate students to gain some experience in giving talks (how much emphasis on technical details, to respect the time frame, to create an interaction with the public, ...) and to answer questions concisely.
to learn more about other students' research projects.
to become more familiar with multimedia tools (powerpoint/Latex presentations, animations, pedagogical tools, ...)
