Prüfungsinformationen
Prüfungsmethode/n
Short oral presentation (15 min.) and a paper of 12 pages at maximum (not including index, references, appendix...).
Prüfungsinhalt/e
To each examinee a research paper employing agent-based modelling will be assigned.
The oral presentation is intended to give a short overview about the research question and the agent-based model in that paper.
The paper should in depth show/discuss how the research question is captured by the agent-based model employed in the research paper.
Beurteilungskriterien/-maßstäbe
Attendance of at least 75%.
For the presentation and the paper:
- correctness and clarity (i.e., are the key ideas of the research paper correctly and concisely captured and presented).
For the paper additionally:
- Elaboration of how the agent-based model reflects the research question of the paper.
