Mathematics:
The mathematics lectures were delivered by Mr. Peter Furlan. He really gives you the required basic knowledge of Mathematics. He is used to give assignments in the class, even though it is not mandatory to complete those assignments, they don’t have any weight in final exam, but it will be very helpful for your final preparation if you submit these assignments as he checks those regularly and mark your mistakes. The other cool thing about Mathematics is that you are allowed to take 16 pages A5 size handwritten booklet in the final exam. Start preparing this booklet right from your first lecture, you can start with a rough one and then at the end you can neat that. But be careful, you will have just 120 minutes in the exam so prepare it in a way that it can help you in the exam, for example, if you write too small and everything is mixed up it’s not going to help you.
Computer Systems:
Mr Schwiegelsohn delivered in the WS 06/07 the Computer Systems lectures. No doubt he is among the best professors of the university. He encourages discussions in lectures, try to participate in that, it really will increase your interest in the subject a lot. From last year he had changed the pattern of the exam, before it was open book but now it is closed book exam. So the format of the exam is also a bit different now. Earlier there were more technical questions and very few things which you have to copy paste from the script. But now you really need to memorize the script. Last year exam, which you can find from the web, can give you a nice idea about the exam. In Computer Systems you are allowed to take 1 A4 size paper with you. You may write as small as you wish, print outs are also allowed.
Fundamentals of Robotics:
Mr. Hoffmeier conducted the Fundamentals of Robotics lectures. You have to memorize the whole script in Fundamentals of Robotics, no other tip. If you are good in Denavet Hartenberg conventions, it can help you because you will get a problem from this topic with very high weight, in our time it weighted approximately 25 percent of the whole marks.
Logic Control:
Logic Control is taught by Mr. Sonntag. This is a subject where you can get good marks, and improve your overall grade. Here you should not infer that you will good results even if you don't study, this only means that if you put equal effort in every subject then this could be the subject which gives you higher output. You also have an advantage here that you have to submit a home assignment , which makes 25% of the final marks. The instructions are not to work in groups, otherwise your marks will be divided between you and your partner. They definitely will know if you worked in groups because the questions always have many possible solutions, so the advice is to do as it is said. In tutorials you will be given knowledge of some software’s, sometimes it’s a bit boring, but try to learn those, it will be helpful for the whole subject understanding.
