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.
