COURSE ORGANIZATION FOR SoSe22
We intend to organize a standard lecture (see "Lectures" for further details). The exercise part of this course is also planned to be standard (see "Exercises"). Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, however, the course organisation may change at short notice. Therefore, before attending the lecture and the exercises, inform yourself on this webpage about possible changes, in particular about the form of the event (presence/hybrid/online). You must register yourself for the lecture and the exercises separately. This is obligatory and must be done on ILIAS: the GR lecture and the GR exercises. The registration deadline is April 19, 14:00. In case of any problems, contact Dr. Emelyanov. All information on this webpage is to be regarded exclusively |
