7 Exams: FP and SL FP = Fachprüfung: Exam that with only three attempts (oral or written, graded) SL = Studienleistung: ungraded study achievement without such limitations

8 TUCaN = central system for organization of studies and teaching with TUCaN register to moduls, courses therin und exams. with TUCaN check your grades important: activate your TU-ID (see letter with student id card) How to obtain information about TUCaN: 1. Homepage of TU Darmstadt 2. Fachschaft (= student rep. within mat. sci., mostly bachelor students) 3. Informationen zu TUCaN: Counter 3 at Karo 5 (downtown campus) 4. Monday, October 17: a. Central welcome address and info event for new TU students (in German) 6 pm at Audimax und live broadcast into surrounding lecture halls b. 7:30 pm: TUCaN-Talk in S101/A5 (in German) c. 8 pm at 603qm : incoming students party In case of problems: Don t Panic! Ask fellow students, then me

10 mentors: Prof. K. Albe Prof. L. Alff Prof. W. Donner Prof. W. Ensinger Prof. W. Jaegermann APL-Prof. A. Klein Prof. R. Krupke APL-Prof. C. Müller Prof. R. Riedel Prof. H. von Seggern Prof. R. Stark Jun.-Prof. B. Xu

11 advice for teaching related questions Prof. L. Alff (dean of studies) Prof. W. Donner (chair of examination board) PD Dr. B. Kastening (scientific coordinator)

12 Industrial Lab internship with duration of at least 6 weeks at company or research lab outside TU Darmstadt relation to materials science finish before starting master thesis if already done for bachelor course, you re done apprenticeship in related areas is also fine get approvement beforehand memo on mat. sci. homepage (at bachelor, so far only in German)

13 Research Lab I First meeting: Tuesday, October 18 at 9:15 a.m. in room 77

14 Software Microsoft software with TU-ID via HRZ (except: Office) in case of problems: Mr. Andreas Hönl (rm 059)

15 end of talk Good luck! And: have fun!!
