Slides presented in the lecture

Literature: Near the bottom of the TISS page of the course there is a list of course-related literature.

Exam

The exam is divided into a written and an oral part, but administratively it is one exam and so there is only one grade for the whole exam.

The first opportunity for the written exam is at the end of the winter term. Then, three exam dates per semester will be offered.

For admission to the oral part, the score in the written exam has to be at least 50% of the maximally possible score.

The oral part is taken preferrably at one of the dates offered on the list provided during the written examination, which lie usually within one month after the written exam (most of the time slots are about one week after the written exam).
If not taken within six months after the written exam, you resign from it and will get the final grade "Failed".

In case of failing, the exam (and thus both parts) has to be repeated.

Exercises

General

The exercise sessions are organized in two groups both of which take place on Tuesday (see TISS for exact time and place).

The exercise sessions start on Oct 10 and end on January 23.

Registration and attendance are mandatory. Please register in TISS for one of the two groups.

Modalities

Prepare the homework given on the exercise sheets before the respective course unit.
For each problem you have solved and you think you can present the solution on the blackboard, tick the appropriate box in TUWEL before the deadline of the respective exercise session.
For both groups the deadline is Tuesday 8:00 a.m. each week.
Attendance to the exercise sessions is mandatory.
After the course, you must have solved 60% of all problems.
The final grade depends on the percentage of problems you solved and on your presentations on the blackboard.
This means precisely: If P is the precentage of problems you have solved and B is the average score of your blackboard presentations (where 100 is the maximum; thus 0≤B≤100 and 0≤P≤100), then your grade is determined as follows:
- The overall percentage is calculated with the formula
  - A=B+0.5*P−50.
- If P<60 the final grade is failed, else the value of A determines your grade:
  - 60≤A<70 is sufficient,
  - 70≤A<80 is satisfactory,
  - 80≤A<90 is good,
  - 90≤A≤100 is very good.
