<objectives>After successfully completing this module, students will be able to independently access, process and reproduce the content of a scientific publication, both orally and in writing. In addition, they will be able to actively participate in a technical discussion.

</objectives>
<content>Computer science is increasingly influencing our everyday life. Therefore, it is not surprising that current results from computer science research are also presented to a broader public in the media. This seminar will look at current publications from the field of computer science research (in English) together with the corresponding media coverage (in English or German). 

In a lecture, (approx. 30 minutes), each participant will present a selected scientific publication, with special emphasis on how technical details in media reporting are simplified and technical terminology is avoided. In order to facilitate a lively discussion, all participants should be familiar with media coverage, but not with the scientific publication itself. The collected findings will be summarized in a seminar paper (approx. 6 pages).
