Conceptual Design
- Historical models are used to explore the differential geometry of surfaces.
- Each student adopts a particular model.
- The student explains a certain topic of the seminar (e.g., Gauss-maps or curvatures) based on his model.
- A learning diary documents the research on the model.
- At the end of the seminar, each student gives a second talk that addresses the topics of the other talks with respect to the adopted model.
Example: Learning Steps for the Topic of the Gauss Map
1. Explaining the Gauss map on a model
2. Entry in the learning diary
