The seminar is research-oriented but might include the development and documentation of an IS-artifact or prototype. Existing programming skills are not mandatory. Rather, basic programming skills will be learned during the seminar in cooperation with your supervisor(s). A mandatory block course will cover the foundations of scientific research.
The seminar paper will be written in groups of two on a topic assigned in the aftermath of the mandatory kick-off meeting. The examination is based upon three components: seminar paper, presentation of the paper (and artifact, if applicable), and a follow-up deep dive into the paper / methodology.
