The following content has been provided by the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg.

That we will have a written exam at the end of this lecture term, because we will have

like a hundred participants, but we want to do this very gentle.

So what we will do is in order not to make things too bad, we want to have at least one

practice exam, so you will get access towards the end of the exercises.

We will have one complete exam that will be like the written exam, but of course not identical,

but very much like the written exam, and we will prepare them just for preparation.

So in other lectures you have the benefit that you can already go back to a whole bunch

of written examinations in order to prepare for the exam.

You don't have this for this examination, which is why we will do that, and we will make it gentle.

Okay? Good. Then there's a couple of more announcements.

Actually this lecture should be recorded, but I don't see anybody recording here right now.

Maybe the next... It's not too bad, because today we will only do the introduction.

Are you recording this lecture?

Okay, so at least I have the promise by the Rechenzentrum that they will record the lecture.

Hopefully starting from next week.

There won't be a lecture on this Thursday, so this Thursday I have to do a business trip,

so it won't be here, so there won't be a lecture.

So next lecture will be on April 19th, which is next Tuesday, so same time as today, same room.

By the way, the Thursday's lecture...

Hi! Ooh!

Okay, this means I have to start over and tell everything again,

but now at least half of you is already shocked, and I only have to shock the other half.

Good. So I want to start the lecture at four sharp, because this is... Is that a big problem if you start exactly at four?

Because then we can finish at five thirty, because that's already pretty late,

and if you want to get home, then you probably want to leave here at five thirty and not stay until six.

Good. So hopefully we will have recordings at some point.

I don't know what happened, but the Rechenzentrum actually was informed.

And yeah, we are skipping lecture this Thursday, so next lecture will be on April 19th.

And the big news is we will have a written exam, because there's no...

This lecture used to have like thirty people, twenty to thirty people, and we could do all the exams orderly,

but now we have almost a hundred people attending this lecture.

This is pretty, pretty crazy.

And actually only half of you are actually attending the lecture, and the rest of you is actually watching recordings.

So about half of the people don't even show up in the lecture and just watch the recordings, which is perfectly fine.

Nonetheless, with so many participants, we have to go towards a written exam.

We will make it gentle, and we will prepare a test examination that will be very much like the real exam towards the end of the semester.

So in the last week or last two weeks of the semester, we will have this test written exam.

And you will see that the structure of the written exam that we put in the last week will be very similar to what you've seen here in the lecture.

So one part will be consisting of theory, so you will have to reproduce things that we talked about here in the lecture.

And another part will be a bit of calculation, so that you have to calculate something on paper.

And this will be more or less it.

60 minutes, probably four different exercise tasks to solve in the examination, and each 15 minutes.

So for every minute, one point.

And if you have 30 points here, you should be able to pass the exam.

Okay, good. So this is the big news.

Are there any questions so far?

Then I would like to introduce Leonard Husvogt.

He will be doing the exercises. You may already know him.

Do you want to say something?
