Notes about the format
- The course is organized with a workload of 2 SWS of lecture and 1 SWS of tutorial per week.
- The tutorials will be integrated into the course of lecture, thus there are no separate tutorial dates.
- The course will be held in a block structure with two lecture dates per week during the periods from April 18 to May 9 (block 1) and from June 11 to July 18 (block 2) – There will be no lecture dates in the weeks from May 13 to June 6!
