This also includes the intermediate and final presentations, which are part of every internship, bachelor as well as master thesis. All interested students are welcome to attend the disputation seminar! In particular, regular attendance is recommended for those, who are in the process of writing their practical, bachelor or master thesis.
Information on the current situation due to COVID-19
Currently, there is no presence teaching due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we will work with students to try to facilitate final presentations on schedule as much as possible. We offer the following options in this context:
- If you want to hold your final presentation virtually:
- The seminar will take place online via Zoom at the mentioned times (always c.t.). Please contact your respective supervisors or the event organization for access details.
- We recommend that you provide a recording of your presentation as a backup via link in advance. For example, you can use your CIP-webspace or LRZ Sync&Share for this, but other ways are also fine.
- Please note the rules for online teaching below.
- If you do not want to hold your final presentation virtually, you can make up for it. We will offer additional dates for this as soon as the situation has eased.
Rules for Online Teaching
While LMU is closed, most teaching happens currently online. As teachers, we ask you to be forgiving if things should not work perfectly right away, and we hope for your constructive participation. In this situation, we would also like to explicitly point out some rules, which would be self-evident in real life:- In live meetings, we ask you to responsibly deal with audio (off by default) and bandwidth (video as needed).
- Recording or redirecting streams by participants is not allowed.
- Distributing content (video, audio, images, PDFs, etc.) in other channels than those foreseen by the author is not allowed.
Length of presentations for students
- Final presentation of practical work: 10 min presentation + 10 min discussion
- Final presentation of bachelor thesis: 15 min presentation + 10 min discussion
- Kickoff presentation Master's thesis: 10 min presentation + 10 min discussion
- Final presentation master thesis: 20 min lecture + 15 min discussion
Attention here it does not concern about circa data. I.e. after the time given above the presentation will be finished regardless of whether the end of the presentation slides is reached or not. It is advisable to do a test lecture with the supervisor beforehand to get a feeling for the timing.
