Presentation instructions

In order to pass the course with 4 credit points, you must prepare and present your own talk. When preparing your talk, you should remember the following:

• As there is one talk per meeting, it should be about 45 min - 1 hour long.
• Skip proofs, excessive theory and details, and try to explain clearly the most important matters of the scope of your talk.
• Make handouts of your slides to other participants. (Ask the assistant for help, if necessary.)
• Send your slides (for example in .pdf format) to the course assistant so they can be put onto the home page of the course.
• If you would like to give your presentation using a computer but do not have a laptop, contact the assistant.
• Select 2-3 problems from the book for others to solve.
• Give model solutions to your selected problems to the lecturer or the assistant.
