Office hours

Given the ongoing Corona pandemic, office hours are largely held digitally. Homework and documents can be sent to me electronically.

If you have any questions, I am available by e-mail.

In case of recognition of external achievements, please send me your documents as pdf. If necessary, the recognition can be done online.

If a direct contact is necessary or seems to be useful, please send me an e-mail. I will then send a "link" for a consultation appointment through a Zoom videoconference (usually Mondays from 12am onwards). The registered persons will be placed in the Zoom waiting room and admitted by me - according to the order of registration - individually.

Face-to-face appointments are possible in principle, but are to be determined on a case-by-case basis.
