Registration
The registration runs via our campus management system TUMonline. After your enrollment, you will receive a personal account. The registration for this preliminary course - and all your later courses - runs via this platform. All important messages from us go to the e-mail address connected to TUMonline. Please read these mails promptly.
These registrations are open from September 14. Each applicant will get a place in the course.
The course consists of three parts: Lecture, central exercise and tutor exercise - see schedule. You have to register twice in TUMonline:
- for the lecture and central exercise
(this is possible until the end of the course) - for the tutor exercise
(this can be done till right before the start of the course)
Please note the following details when registering for the tutor exercises:
- There are 15 tutor groups in total, so enough places for everyone.
- Most groups are in English, but there are also some groups in German. Most tutors are multilingual and of course always try to help.
- Please register for several tutor groups (best for all groups in your desired language). The distribution is done in TUMonline by a raffle. If you register for only one group, and it is full, you will go away empty-handed, although there are certainly places available in other groups.
- If you already know fellow students, you can also form groups of up to 5 participants in the registration procedure described above and register together that way.
We wish you a successful pre-course and a good start into your 1st semester!
Teaching material
As soon as you have registered for the course in TUMonline, you will also have access to the TUM Moodle teaching material server. There you find all videos, zoom links, pdf files and information about the course. In the Moodle forum you can ask questions, if something should not be organizationally or technically clear. Of course you can ask there content-related questions too, but this is usually more direct in your tutor group.
Schedule
The course consists of three parts: lecture, central exercise and tutor exercise. The daily structure is the same in each case:
Lecture (English)
Central exercise (English)
- 4.10.-7.10.22 and 13.10.-14.10.: 10:00-10:45 in Audimax
- 10.10.22: 13:30-14:15 in room 1200
- 12.10.22 : 13:15-14:30 in room 1200
Exemplary tasks from the respective exercise sheet on the current topics of the lecture will be calculated, so that you can then hopefully manage them in the tutor exercises on your own or with the help of your fellow students and tutors.
