Dear Students,

Here are some further details on the report you are required to submit.

  • In your report, you summarise the research paper you presented.

  • Additionally, you pick two of the other research papers presented in the seminar, summarise them shortly, and explain in your report how they relate to your research paper.

  • Your report has to be 4 to 5 pages long.

  • A potential report structure could be as follows: Abstract - Introduction - Summaries of the papers - Discussion Section - Conclusions/Limitations/Future Work.

  • Your report has to follow a two-column template, available for example here.

  • We strongly suggest that you use LaTeX to typeset your paper. Knowing LaTeX will strongly benefit you when writing any future seminar papers and your Bachelor’s thesis. If you are new to LaTeX, we suggest using Overleaf; as UdS students, you can get a free premium account (click here for more information). Overleaf also provides a nice LaTeX tutorial.

  • Your report has to be submitted as a PDF by July 15th, 2025, 23:59:59 via the CMS. We will provide submission instructions in July.

Best of luck with your writing!
