41 Team Project, Seminar, Master Thesis 3 milestones during your studies that involve Literature research Programming Writing Practice those skills from early on If you know that your programming skills are not solid, start practicing/learning now If you cannot contribute to a team project, it is very likely that you will not get a passing grade If you have no programming skills it will be very difficult for you to find a Master s Thesis topic 41

42 Plagiarism Plagiarism is when you copy someone else s work and do not give credit by referencing the source of the content This applies to: Images Text Content structure Code We take this matter very serious You can fail the team project, the seminar or the Master s Thesis because of this 42

44 Master s Thesis How to find a supervisor and a topic: Learn about relevant topics for a thesis in the lectures and seminars Ask the people giving those courses about possible topics Look at our websites for published lists of possible topics Create your own idea Start at the end of the 2 nd semester to find a supervisor and a topic! 44
