Registration is compulsory (till October 12th 2015)

Further information can be found on the tuwel course.

Written and oral exams.

Two written exams (70%), unannounced short tests (10%), exercises (20%).
More detailed information is provided on the tuwel course (in German).

Please register in TISS for the course as well as an exercise group until 12.10.2015! You cannot drop the course without getting a grade after you participate in one of the exercise classes.

A "script" for the course is available (buying it cannot replace attendening the lectures though). Lecture notes and presentations (slides) will be made available after each lecture in tuwel.
