Course detail
Bachelor Seminar II (B-MET)
FSI-RSB Acad. year: 2027/2028 Summer semester
The course focuses on supporting students in the development of their bachelor’s thesis and the presentation of its results, with the thesis being approached as a project. An essential part of the course consists of peer review and a trial presentation of the thesis, allowing students to gain valuable feedback and insights into how to further improve their work before submission.
The organisation and content of the course reflect the rapid development of AI technologies, which has led to a significantly greater emphasis on effective project organisation, clear definition of objectives, and presentation of results, while the relative importance of the purely technical or subject-specific aspects of the thesis has decreased.
