(oral) Presentation/ Thesis paper Explanation: Referat: "Oral presentation by a student on a subject previously agreed upon. The length and content of a Referat are set by the Dozent or Professor. Topics for Referate are either chosen prior to semester begin or during the first few weeks of the Seminar" The Thesenpapier is a paper prepared by a student to accompany a Referat and handed out to his/her fellow students, Kommilitonen. In contrast to the Handout, it is an actual summary of the presentation. [http://www-zhv.rwth-aachen.de/zentral/english_glossary.html#...] |

Aktenvermerk (als Anweisung für den Berichterstatter), zu: referre, referieren]: 1. a) ausgearbeitete [Untersuchungsergebnisse zusammenfassende] Abhandlung über ein bestimmtes Thema: ein wissenschaftliches, politisches R.; ein R. ausarbeiten, schreiben; b) kurzer [eine kritische Einschätzung enthaltender] schriftlicher Bericht: -e über die wichtigsten Neuerscheinungen. 2.

Comment: I do not believe that you can ''hold a lecture'' as proposed before. You ''give a speech or a lecture''.

Fragezeichen Sun Jul 4 22:43:37 2004 Comment: Nein, sondern eine Sammlung von Positionsaussagen (position statements). Man denke an Martin Luthers 95 Thesen. Das waren ja nun keine 95 Diplomarbeiten oder Dissertationen ;-) .
