List of courses

On this page I list all the courses that I have attended during my years at the universities. I present the same courses sorted in two different lists.

Either chronologically or by subject.

Courses sorted chronologically

Except for the lengths of the courses I have also made a note on the primary literature used. An overly positive opinion of the respective course is indicated in the first column. Each credit, denoted as 1p, corresponds to one week of full time studies. Course credits marked with the suffix 'X' were not included in my degree.

Opinional codes:
  • 'SPc', the perfect course! In terms of content.
  • 'SPt', the perfect course! In terms of teaching.
  • 'S96', Spring term/semester 1996.
  • 'F96', Autumn/Fall term/semester 1996.
Please note that these evaluations are my own.
