      Please return the final version of your lecture diary here (Word or PDF format).

      1. In the final lecture diary, please mark clearly, which lectures you attended and which you did not attend. We need this information for the evaluation of the lecture diaries.

      2. Please remember to include a short summary chapter, where you reflect on the whole course:

      • Did your interest in the course subjects change during the course?
      • Did your learning process change during the course?
      • What grade would you give for yourself?
