The lecture notes and problem sheets accompanying the course will be made available on LearnWeb (course SM-2026_1).

Credit points (U Münster students):
8 ECTS points for U Münster students who (i) attend the lectures, (ii) obtain at least 50% of all possible points on the problem sheets, and (iii) present at least twice on the blackboard in the tutorial. Solutions to the problem sheets can be handed in in groups of two. 4 ECTS points for U Münster students who only attend the lectures.

Credit points (Erasmus students):
Same requirements as for U Münster students, plus an oral exam at the end of the semester. Passing this exam is a necessary prerequisite for being awarded any ECTS points. The total grade for the course will be exclusively determined by the grade for the oral exam.
