At the moment, we do not yet know how exactly the upcoming winter semester will look like in terms of in-person vs. digital teaching—please see our previous news item for our current plans. We will provide you with updates on our website as soon as we know more, so please keep checking back.
We want to update you on our plans for the winter term of 2021/22. We hope to be able to return to in-person instruction for as many classes as possible. However, at this point, we cannot tell you definitively how the next semester will look like, since the pandemic situation continues to change dynamically and since we are still missing key information about the upcoming term from the central university management. Nevertheless, we still want to communicate our current intentions to you:

Office Hours during the Semester Break Summer 2021
To keep within the guidelines of social distancing procedures, we still cannot offer in-person office hours. To receive a remote consultation, email the instructor you would like to talk to at least 1 hour before the beginning of their office hours to request a callback. In said request, please include your phone number. Some instructors might offer additional remote options (via Zoom, Skype, Google Hangouts, or other) – please see below.
