Lehrmethodik
• The lecture is held on-campus.• The slides are available for the entire lecture. These slides are uploaded to the MOODLE system. The entire content of each slide is systematically explained by the lecturer. Additional examples not included in the slides are suggested by the lecturer to allow a good understanding of the information provided.Very important note: • The lecturer will explain all the concepts of the lecture clearly and verify for each concept that at least 75% of the students have understood the explained concept. Otherwise, the lecturer will keep explaining the same concept until at least 75% of the students understand it.• The slides contain exercises with solutions to help students understand the content of each chapter. These solutions are systematically explained by the lecturer (during the lecture).• The slides contain exercises with solutions to be solved by students during the lecture (this is part of the oral exam). The students are fully assisted/supported by the lecturer to obtain/get correct/exact solutions to the suggested exercises. This will be helpful in checking whether the students have understood the chapters or not.
