From lesson 4, each week one or two presentations are held by groups
of students. The presentation is prepared by the group and then
presented by one or two students in about 15 minutes.
Afterwards, a paper game will be played: one student of the
presenting group attacks the paper and one student defends the paper;
weak and strong points of the paper shall be used. Another student
takes notes of the arguments, which will be published on the SCM
website. Then, by voting, the winning group shall be determined by all
students in the room.
