Final exams:

Thinking ahead:

Think about possible areas of interest (and examiners) for special topics in the early stages of your Hauptstudium.

Reliable information:

Do not rely on hearsay, but check the regulations with the SI/SII or MA examinations office (Prüfungsamt).

Topics:

Discuss the general topics for written and oral with your examiner in good time before you register for the exam.

The exam:

A week before the oral exam I will require the following:

1. a Thesis List of 5 or 6 theses (state the thesis in 1-2 lines, with 10-15 lines of argumentation in support of each);
2. a list of books and articles used in preparation.
3. if you have borrowed these books from the library, I will need them on loan for about 2 days (or copies of the relevant sections) at the same time you hand in your Thesis List, in order to prepare some directly relevant question material (note that there will also be more general questions, and questions on related topics).
