Tutorials - Suggested problems

There are two parallel tutorials where you will work in groups. Before each tutorial you will be randomly assigned to a group of 4 student. The intention of the random grouping is to introduce you to as many of your study fellows as possible so that you might find those with whom you can study best. In each tutorial you will first have a brief recapitulation and discussion of the course content followed by problem solving first in groups and then altogether with the TA.

In five tutorials you will get the opportunity to obtain 1 bonus point for part A of the final exam (5 problems = 5 points). After your group worked on the assigned problem the TA asks you to hand in the solution you found in the group. If your group solution shows that a reasonable approach (not necessarily correct) then every group member gets 1 bonus point. If the solution shows that you jointly worked on the problem, then you get 1/2 bonus point. The date and problem which will be worth a bonus point will not be revealed before. Another 5+1 bonus points can be obtained in answering reading assignments and participate in the diagnostic test. The intention of this is to motivate your participation in the tutorial.

In the tutorial we are going to solve as many problems as the time allows. We recommend you that you prepare yourself for the tutorial, e.g., look at the problem and ask concrete questions during the tutorial.
