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.
