Why are you sitting here?<br />
Think about your general motivation<br />
Think about studying as a profession<br />
Think about 30 credit points per semester<br />
(45 weeks per year with 40 h per week = 1800 h for 60 credits)<br />
Heribert Cypionka<br />
Why am I standing here?<br />
If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to<br />
gather wood and don’t assign them tasks and work,<br />
but rather teach them to long for the endless<br />
immensity of the sea.<br />
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry<br />

Getitfromanother point of view<br />

Most important<br />
Power point or pdf slides do not ask you questions<br />
Often they display data but not the key points<br />
Take them as a starting point<br />
Not only the contents presented in the lecture are<br />
relevant for examinations<br />
Read it in books before and later<br />
Heribert Cypionka<br />
Some recommendations<br />
Do not read anything without having a question to<br />
be answered<br />
Learn part of complicated topics exactly (example)<br />
Discuss/reflect questions and answers in a <strong>group</strong><br />
Think about a publication about your project<br />
My third motto:<br />
Science is communication.<br />
