Objectives
The objectives of the course are to give the student an opportunity to present his/her research work in front of an audience and for the researchers at the Institute of Signal Processing to find out what other researchers are working on and thus stimulate possible collaboration within the Institute.

Content

Content	Core content	Complementary knowledge	Specialist knowledge
1.	Introductory lectures which are tutorial type presentations covering the essentials of the students' research topics.
2.	Technical presentations following a conference style presentation and covering a fairly substantial part of the students' doctoral theses.
3.	Written reports in the form of a technical report.

Requirements for completing the course
Introductory lecture on the student's research topic, one (or two for 8 cr) technical presentations about the student's research topic, written reports about the technical presentations and attendance of at least 5 (or 8 for 5 cr) seminar meetings.

Remarks

The introductory lecture is a tutorial type presentation covering the essentials of the research topic. It should in particular lead to and set the stage for the technical presentations to come. Level of the audience is assumed to be postgraduate students who may be unfamiliar with your research topic. The introductory lecture and the two presentations should be given in three different seminar meetings. The technical presentations should follow a conference style presentation and cover a fairly substantial part of the student's doctoral thesis. The subject and the contents of the presentations should be discussed with the thesis supervisor. At least one technical presentation should be about unpublished research work (publication of this work could have been submitted or accepted to be published but not published). The written report can not be an exact copy of any of the student's publications. Instead, it should be written in the form of a technical report, i.e. an extended version of a conference paper where more detailed documentation and perhaps simulations are included.

Distance learning

- In information distribution via homepage, newsgroups or mailing lists, e.g. current issues, timetables
- In compiling teaching material, particularly for online use or other electronic media
- In the visualization of objects and phenomena, e.g. animations, demonstrations, simulations, video clips

- Contact teaching: 20 %
- Distance learning: 0 %
- Proportion of a student's independent study: 80 %
