This workshop demonstrates various Excel 365 tips and tricks that have been developed based on personal experience. It begins by discussing the basics of navigation and keyboard shortcuts, followed by a look at “ranges formatted as tables.” Using examples, participants will then learn how to properly prepare data and create charts. Finally, the workshop will cover the use of tables in prompts as an important part of the AI workflow.

Prerequisites: You have gained basic experience with Excel 365, including navigation, tables and functions.

This article explores the question of what role students still play in writing term papers and theses when generative AI can produce academic texts on its own. To that end, you’ll first learn about the processes involved in academic writing. For each phase, we’ll highlight typical issues that can come up if these processes are carried out uncritically using generative AI. We’ll then take a critical look at the techniques and strategies you can use to effectively apply AI as a skill-building sparring partner for your writing.

Contents:

• The six phases of academic writing
• Phase-specific pitfalls of generative AI (including sycophancy, premature oversimplification, hallucinated sources, bias, loss of style, and deskilling)
• Specific counterstrategies and prompt techniques for each phase

This two-hour workshop trains participants in public speaking. They practice authentic presentation skills in a fun environment with clear structure and precise feedback, and develop awareness of their own style and confident presentation.
Our method does not aim to impose a specific presentation style on participants. Instead, we work with students based on their individual personalities. Together, and through direct feedback, we find an individual, authentic presentation style.

Does “no problem” really mean “no problem” everywhere? And why punctuality is not binding everywhere. Whether in everyday university life, internships abroad, or working in a global context, intercultural competence is a key qualification. People from different cultural backgrounds teach and learn together, communicate, and work with each other. They all bring different life experiences, backgrounds, and expectations with them. This diversity and complexity are enriching, but they also need to be managed skillfully. This practice-oriented webinar provides an overview of the most important cultural dimensions and concrete strategies for respectful, confident, and effective interaction with others in everyday intercultural practice.
