Recommendations:

It is recommended to have attended relevant lectures in the specialization area of computer graphics. Students will be able to:

• gain insight into a current research area of computer graphics
• conduct a literature review based on a given topic, identify relevant sources, locate them, evaluate them, and analyze them
• prepare their seminar paper (and later their bachelor’s/master’s thesis) with minimal onboarding effort while adhering to formatting guidelines required by publishers for document submission
• develop presentations in a scientific context, including techniques for structuring and delivering content appropriately for an audience
• present research results in written form in a manner consistent with scientific publications
