Organisation
For each of the ten classes eight exercises have to be prepared. The excercise will be announced about a week prior via TUWEL.
Videos with sample solutions will be published on Tuesdays at 12 a.m. A weekly short test will be held on Wednesdays from 4 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. This means you have about a day time to familiarize yourself with the sample solution at a time that is appropriate to you.
The first lecture starts in the week from 22nd to 26th March 2021. This is later than usual, but we want to ensure that we don't overtake the lecture.

The competence check attributes up to 4 points. Up to 34 points can be scored in every intermediate test. Three points are being awarded in each of the five short tests before the first intermediate test. The 4 best short tests are being rated, the worst one is discarded. In the five short tests after the first intermediate test, four points are awarded and the four best results are again rated.
Hence, the grading is constituted from the interim and short tests in the following way:
- 4 points - Competence check
- 12 points - Short tests before the first interim test
- 34 points - 1st interim test
- 16 points - Short tests after the first interim test
- 34 points - 2nd interim test
