Abstract:
One main concern - especially after the implementation of the bachelor program in Germany - is how to manage the great number of lectures and how to give above-average students (but not only for them!) the opportunity to complete their course of studies quickly, but without loss of content or quality of teachings. In order to attack these problems we started an intensive course for selected students in order to offer them a unique learning experience by employing a special teaching concept, with appropriate training and exercises.Keywords:
