Tutorials - Suggested problems

There are two parallel tutorials where you will work in groups. Before each tutorial you will be randomly assigned to a group of 4 student. The intention of the random grouping is to introduce you to as many of your study fellows as possible so that you might find those with whom you can study best. In each tutorial you will first have a brief recapitulation and discussion of the course content followed by problem solving first in groups and then altogether with the TA.

In five tutorials you will get the opportunity to obtain 1 bonus point for part A of the final exam (5 problems = 5 points). After your group worked on the assigned problem the TA asks you to hand in the solution you found in the group. If your group solution shows that a reasonable approach (not necessarily correct) then every group member gets 1 bonus point. If the solution shows that you jointly worked on the problem, then you get 1/2 bonus point. The date and problem which will be worth a bonus point will not be revealed before. Another 5+1 bonus points can be obtained in answering reading assignments and participate in the diagnostic test. The intention of this is to motivate your participation in the tutorial.

12 Wed, Oct 12 13:15-15:00 L43, L44 repetition (old exams) In the tutorial we are going to solve as many problems as the time allows. We recommend you that you prepare yourself for the tutorial, e.g., look at the problem and ask concrete questions during the tutorial.

Recommended homework exercises To deepen your problem solving skill, we also recommend you to solve individually or in groups other relevant exercises:

Course wiki To enhance the engagement in the subject, every student is invited to work with the course wiki. Your engagement will be rewarded with 1 extra bonus point. Therefore, you either

* add a course wiki entry with at least 50 words on a related course related topic (alternative explanation, extension, example,…) or you
* do a major revision of a course wiki entry.
To obtain the bonus point send an e-mail to the teacher and TA pointing on your contribution. For a major revision, you need to explain your revision (it has to be a "major" revision). Every student can get at most 1 bonus point during the course but you are welcome to work more with the course wiki. You can gain a bonus point until the second last lecture.

It is recommended to limit the visibility to students, teachers and assistants of the course.
