• Winter 2020/1: Forbidden Mathematics, a series of (recorded) lectures I planned and gave to my fellow physics students about maths topics that had been insufficiently covered before, but were still somewhat expected.
• Spring 2018/9: Analysis 2 at UniKN, taught by Heinrich Freistühler

  The Mathewerkstatt was a weekly offer where 1st-year students could work together on their homework.

Elucidation on Exercise Classes

In Germany (meaning: Algebra and Analysis 2), students work at home (or at the Mathewerkstatt) on their homework, hand it in, and then receive it back during the exercise class. The exercise class exists to discuss good solutions. Depending on the quality of hand-ins, the students are often asked to present their solutions.

In the Netherlands (meaning: everything else), exercise classes are an occasion where students can work on their homework together under the supervision of someone familiar with the contents of the course. The TA’s work mostly involves answering questions and explaining topics from the lectures. This more or less corresponds to what I did for Mathewerkstatt (except Mathewerkstatt only existed for the first year courses: Einführung in das mathematische Arbeiten, Analysis 1&2, Linear Algebra 1&2, Computereinsatz in der Mathematik, Modellierung, but then also required expertise in all of these subjects). familiarity with all the first-year courses:
