IMPORTANT further information

Due to the coronavirus-induced change in procedure (digital teaching formats instead of the usual classroom teaching) and the shortening of the summer semester 2020, the following applies:

If you wish to participate in this event, please send a short e-mail to the coordinator of the exercises, Mr. Fabian Joswig ( f_josw01(at)uni-muenster.de ), with subject line until 20.4.
                
CP I: Participation and request for registration in the LearnWeb course
and your central WWU user ID. You will then be enrolled in the LearnWeb course by us as soon as possible. The distribution of the registered students to the exercise groups, which are also "virtual/digital", is then carried out via a fair distribution in the LearnWeb. The deadline and special information will be announced in time via the LearnWeb.
(Alternatively, you could also register for lectures and exercises in QISPOS/LSF right at the beginning of the first week of lectures, 20.04.2020, and would then receive the course password from us by e-mail to register for the corresponding LearnWeb course page, which is central for the further process. However, we strongly recommend the first procedure via directly contacting us to avoid time delays!)

All lecture slides (as PDF and in a dubbed version), materials, exercise sheets and, if applicable, further information on the lecture will then be made available on the LearnWeb and can be viewed and/or downloaded there. Also the submission of the completed exercises (by uploading) and the return of the corrected solutions as well as further communication with tutors and lecturer, if applicable, are done via the LearnWeb.
