The exam questions can be answered in English or in German (as preferred by the student). The handouts show all figures with English subtitles but the running text is in German. The chapters closely adhere to the english-speaking students can give the exam answers in English. If they have problems with the German handouts, then they can use the original text book "Molecular Biology of the Cell" by Bruce Alberts et al. as source for learning and compare with the German handouts to see what has been emphasized.
