Learning and Teaching Methods
Lecture with integrated exercise
In the lectures, the contents will be presented in a talk with demonstrative examples, as well as through discussion with the students. The lectures should motivate the students to carry out their own analysis of the themes presented and to independently study the relevant literature. Corresponding to each lecture, practice sessions will be offered, in which exercise sheets and solutions will be available. In this way, students can deepen their understanding of the methods and concepts taught in the lectures and independently check their progress.

Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
Depending on the number of students, the examination is either oral or a 60 minutes' written test without any auxiliary resources. The students are asked to explain important facts and sketch the corresponding proofs and derivations of the content of the lecture listed above. Moreover, they have to solve a typical benchmark problem. With that they demonstrate that they have fully understood the main ideas of the lecture and are able apply that knowledge to application problems.
Exam Repetition
The exam may be repeated at the end of the semester.
