SCHEDULE

Here you find the suggested course schedule for this semester. Some minor variation may occur. All students are expected to give presentations on the respective topics. There will be groups of three. Each speaker is supposed to talk for at least 20 but no more than 25 minutes so that we have 15-30 minutes time for discussion at the end of each session. For each session some starting material can be accessed via WueCampus2. More literature for your presentations is indicated in the Bibliography. However, you are required to consult further sources, as found, for example, in the bibliographies of the respective publications.
