  • What information have you already gathered? What would you like to ask and/or clarify?
  • What have you already done to work on your task, to solve your problem independently (first literature research, structure of the term paper/presentation, etc.)?
  • What are your expectations of me as a teacher?
  • If you want to discuss a term paper or final thesis, please bring along an outline - or even better send it to me beforehand.
