Exam Questions Online Document
We set up an online document http://bit.ly/lGbs2v, in which you can enter questions, which you think could appear in the exam. You can formulate the questions in German or English as you like. You could also try to give an answer to the question, but please do not start large discussions in this document. If there are open questions, please discuss them in the exercise courses. It is OK to reformulate questions, but try to ensure that the meaning of the question is not changed. If in doubt add a new question.
