Exercises
On July 9 and July 11 you have the opportunity to ask questions in the tutorials on any topic covered during the course. If you cannot make it to these tutorials or have any additional questions that could not be answered there do not hesitate to contact one of the tutors. The contact data can be found on any exercise sheet.
Examination Dates
The oral examinations will take place on 15th of July, 16th of July and 18th of September. If you want to have an exam please write an e-mail to Dr. J.-C. Lanfranchi and Dr. M. Hofmann, indicating your preferred time and date. In case the exam covers only the summer term (astroparticle physics 2) it will last about 25', in case it covers both winter and summer term (astroparticle physics 1+2) it will last about 40'.
The exams in July and September will take place in room 3049.
Good luck to all of you in the exams!
