Comment

This course is offered in both English and German languages. The English version is offered in the Winter Semester, while the German version is offered in the Summer semester. The final can be written in each semester in both languages. The course content and material are identical in both languages. However, given the rather large difference between the terminology in both English and German, it is strongly recommended that the students write the final in the same language as the lectures they attended. At the minimum, the students should have read the textbook in the corresponding language.
