Are there official lecture notes for the courses at the LTD?

No, there are only supplementary handouts that complement the notes you take during the lectures. If you are unable to attend a class, you should get a copy of the notes from a fellow student.

How can I get the lecture materials if I missed a lecture?

Contact the supervisor of the relevant tutorial. Please keep in mind that this must remain an exception: with several hundred students, we cannot easily cater to everyone individually.

Are there materials or special support for exam preparation at the LTD?

For all subjects with a written exam, a collection of past exams is made available toward the end of the semester. It contains the problems and the numerical results. In addition, office hours are held before all exams; for the large lecture courses, these are announced online. Further resources are available on the e-learning platform.

Are there complete model solutions for the past exam problems?

No, and we ask for your understanding here. The issue is this: the past exam problems are a test for you. If you cannot solve something, you usually still have a gap in your understanding, and you generally cannot close it simply by looking at the model solution. When going through a model solution, many people quickly get the impression: “Of course, that’s how it works. I could have done that too”, and then, when it really counts, it turns out they had not understood it after all. That is what we want to avoid. This is of course open to debate, but we have had good experience with this system over many years. That is why we only provide the final results. At the same time, we offer office hours in which all your remaining questions can be answered.
