- Selection and information about the courses offered in the respective semester: via EXA
- Course registration: at this chair via GRIPS (at other chairs partly also via EXA; for the respective registration mode please refer to the information on EXA or the homepage)
- Access to teaching material: via GRIPS
Hint:
Since exchange students may not yet have a university account, which is necessary for logging into the internetplatform GRIPS, we would ask you in this case to send us a short pre-registration by e-mail. However, since the course is coordinated via GRIPS, an additional enrolment in the GRIPS course must be made once the exchange students have received their university account. This is normally the case shortly before the start of the semester.
Corona Status
The courses will be offered digitally for the moment. However, the lecturer reserves the opportunity - depending on the development of the current situation - to switch to face-to-face teaching during the semester.

What is "GRIPS"?
What is "GRIPS"?
"GRIPS" is the platform on which lecturers make material (e.g. slides, literature, ...) available to students.?Usually there is a "GRIPS course" for each course, so that you can download the material from the courses you attend.
The term "GRIPS" is an acronym for "Gemeinsame Regensburger Internet-Plattform für Studierende" ("Common Regensburg Internet Platform for Students"), which in German gives the word "Grips". Translated into English, "Grips" means something like "intelligence". The G for "Gemeinsam" ("Together") stands for the fact that both the students of the University and the Technical University of Applied Sciences (FH) use the platform.
For which purposes can I use GRIPS?
- Registration for the course: The registration mode can be found in the information about the course in EXA or on the homepage. At this chair the registration via GRIPS is necessary.
- Access to the teaching material and possibility to download it
- Further options such as using the discussion forum, receiving short-term announcements from the lecturer, etc.
In times of Covid-19 GRIPS also plays a role for the participation in the lectures and tutorials, as the online meetings (which are planned at this chair via the conference tool "Zoom") are coordinated there.
