Further Grading Information:
Concept
For a successful participation, a wrap-up of the lectures using additional literature and an active participation in the recitation hours, is suggested. Additional material and comprehension question are provided via the e-learning platform Moodle.

Grade-point bonus
Successful submission of homework problems qualify for a bonus up to 0.4 grade points. Homework and submission of questions does not replace passing the written exam.
Official Course Description:
cf. course description (web page of the mech. engineering department)
Additional Information:
Weekly problem tutorials are offered. Homework has to be submitted in the mailbox in the lobby of the Institut für Kernphysik (S2|14) by Monday noon of the following week to qualify for a grade-point bonus. Remaining problems will be discussed in the weekly recitation sessions. Problems will be published in moodle.
