Teaching (Independent)
List of courses where I was independently responsible for the scope of the course, developing the course material, and conducting the lecture/exercises (German: Lehrauftrag). For these courses, more information is provided, e.g., slides, projects, etc. This information is in German, as the courses are all taught in German.
