Welcome to the course.

A preliminary remark: The evaluation of the spring 2008 version (taught by myself) indicates that the students were divided approximately 50--50 on whether the workload is too heavy or not. As the course content is more or less set, and the fall semester is more compact than the spring semester (which was evaluated), it is only fair to indicate that quite a few students will have to be prepared for some hard work in this course.

Since spring 2008, the compulsory term papers have been removed. Compensatory means (e.g. a voluntary term paper) will be considered and discussed at the beginning of the course.
