Seminar 2 instructions (Thu Sept 19)

.

.

Our next seminar will be held Thursday morning (8-10) Here are the instructions for how to prepare for that seminar:

1) Read through all the 21 news- and future-related topics in the blog post directly following this blog post. We have harvested these topics from your essays and from our guest lectures. Some topics are very brief, other topics are a little bit more elaborated.

2) "VOTE" HERE for your three favorite topics. These are the topics you could imagine yourself working with during the project phase, or, that you at least would like another group to work with during the project phase. Your vote is a vote on interesting topics - not a pledge of yours as to what you want/will work on during the project phase. NOTE: perhaps I was better at formulating certain topics than others - but your task is to see through and beyond the short descriptions and imagine what these topics could be developed into!

3a). Preferably: You are inspired by several of the topics, but you realize that we have missed an excellent topic that should have been in this list. Find a title and write a short text about that topic (50-150 words) and bring it on paper to the seminar on Thursday. You can use bullets to make you idea/topic more clear. Don't forget to write your name on the paper!

3b) Otherwise: If you can't think of a new topic, take one of the 21 existing topics and "develop" or specify it further. Take the topic one step further ("to the next level") and bring it on paper (50-150 words) to the seminar on Thursday. Don't forget to write your name on the paper!

4) NOTE: We all meet in the seminar room Q34 for initial information. Please be on time as we will divide you into seminar groups as quickly as possible after we start! Late arrivals will have fewer options!
