General information on seminars:
Before your seminar talk please make an appointment with me which should take place approximately one week before your presentation. Before this meeting you have read and worked through the material on which your presentation will be based. You should have come up with a structure for your talk and you should be ready to ask questions on details that still need to be clarified.
In structuring your talk keep in mind that you will generally not be able to present every detail of the source text. Preference should be given to presenting results and proofs as well as your own thoughts and ideas such as worked out examples and pictures that add to the intuitive understanding of the subject. Sometimes it is sufficient and in fact more instructive to give only an overview of the idea of the proof and to skip technical and lengthy calculations in the presentation (which you yourself should have gone through nonetheless!).
You will need to make your own notes from the source text. Hereby it is crucial to think about which parts of your notes you will put on the black board. (In order to gauge how many pages of hand written notes you can cover on the board think about how many you produce during a 90 minute lecture. This is most definitely an upper bound.) Practicing the talk beforehand -preferably using a black board- is also recommended in order to check that your timing is right.
