Please fill in
this survey about the lecture and examples class. Print it, fill it in with a pen and bring it to the examples class.
Final examination
There will be a Klausur (written exam) on 29th January 2016.
This is for those who have regularly submitted the
solutions to the examples, and will help us to determine
the mark on
your report.
