• A traditional seminar part: Students pick a topic and present about it in class. We then discuss its content.
• A multimedia-based part: Every session we watch a video and discuss it in class. For more information see http://wp.me/pDU66-lb ARCH runs as a three-hour block. For past ARCH seminar impressions see http://osr.cs.fau.de/category/teaching/arch/
