Intended audience:

• Diploma students: Hauptstudium Informatik I (Praktische Informatik)
• Senior bachelor students with interest in pursuing a bachelor's thesis in this area
• Master students (Informatik, Wirtschaftsinformatik, Bioinformatik)

Prerequisites:

• Grundstudium Informatik, or first two years of Bachelor Informatik, Wirtschaftsinformatik, Bioinformatik

Exercises:

• The class consists of both a weekly lecture and weekly exercises!
• Exercises constitute half of the credits and thus will make up half of the grade (exam questions).
• Exam questions will be based on experiences gained by attending the exercise meetings and by working on the homework. It will not be enough to just read and understand solutions to the homework. The learning experience and insights gained by struggling with the assignments is essential.
