Lehrmethoden (*)The course is offered in combination with an intensifying course to guarantee enough time to actively practice the content discussed. In the course there will be teacher-centred information inputs, supported by slides and literature. In every lecture there will be enough time to discuss and ask questions. Every chapter in the lecture is accompanied by a problem set in the intensifying course. Students solve the problem set at home and the solutions are discussed together in the intensifying course.
