Requirements:

For Diplom students in their 6. semester or higher.
For Master students in their 2. semester.

Credits for this course:

Diploma students: To obtain a "Schein" for this course, you are required to regularly and actively participate in the problem sessions. Additionally, you must regularly hand in assignment sheets and obtain at least 60 % of all possible assignment points. Students are permitted to work in groups of up to two people per group.
Further, you must participate in both exams (mid-term and final) and, in each exam, obtain at least 30% of all points.

Master students: You must qualify for a "Schein" as described for Diploma students. Your final grade for this course
will be computed as the average grade obtained in the two exams.
