Supervision of professional practice, BPS

The content on this page was translated automatically.

I am happy to supervise your professional practice if it falls within my field of work or very related topics. It is best to contact me as soon as you have found a topic, but especially before you have started working on it.

The internship report

The report should be structured, formulated, formatted and error-corrected according to university standards. Typical are e.g. 12pt font, reasonably large margins, page numbering, justified text, numbered sections, table of contents, bibliography etc. If you write with LaTeX, almost any normal template will do.

 

Images, tables, code fragments etc. are numbered and captioned and referenced in the text, ideally described or explained in more detail. Literature used is cited in the appropriate places (with/as a reference) and listed in the bibliography. Each literature entry contains at least the information necessary for completeness.

Structure of the report

This is not necessarily so firmly written in a BPS report. However, it is advisable that you

  • briefly describe the organizational process (and the integration into the company/the overall project) and
  • comprehensively describe the task, approach and technical results.

In the latter case, a well-structured presentation is required, in principle in such a way that a potential successor could use the text as an introduction to your work.

Page number

The question of page numbers often comes up: It depends on your writing style and the amount of detail you want to describe. So I can't say much about that. The text should be comprehensive, but on the other hand it is "only" a BPS report (not a thesis), so the amount of work must be limited. Since a thesis (Computer Science: 12CP) is expected to be around 45 to 80 pages (plus appendices), perhaps 15-20 pages would be appropriate for the BPS (Computer Science: 12CP)? But as I said, it depends on the content - if you have any doubts, please talk to me.
