Sommersemester 2025
Dozent: Stefan Jordan
48 Teilnehmer/innen
Lecture: Thursdays, 14:15-15:45
Tutorial Group 1: Thursday, 15:45-17:15

Tutorial Group 2: Thursday, 15:45-17:15
Neuer Hörsaal, Philosophenweg 12
 
To excel in the module MVAstro2 "Stellar Astrophysics," it is essential to complete an adequate number of exercises and attend the tutorials. Merely submitting exercises through the Übungsgruppensystem is insufficient; you must also be prepared to present your solutions during the tutorial sessions. 
 
Credit points cannot be awarded solely based on participation in the written exam; attendance at the tutorials is also required to receive credit.
