How do I choose an exercise group?

It may always be that some exercise groups are more favoured than others. This leads to more interested students in a group than its actual capacity. We will offer enough groups so that each group is not overly crowded.

We want to give everyone a fair chance to get into their preferred exercise group. And we want that the entirety of students gets into their preferred or at least into an acceptable exercise group.

Due to that we ask you to order the exercise groups according to your preference. You to that by assigning 1-5 stars for each group. ¹ The more stars you assign to one group the higher ranked it will be. We will try to match your preferences as well as possible. Especially we will try to assign you to any of your first two choices and to avoid the last placed choice.

You will have enough time to make your preferences. Not an arbitrary amount but it is no first-come first-serve. Exercise groups are assigned in waves: As soon as you saved your preferences, you will be assigned to an exercise group with the next wave. When the next wave is due is shown on the page. The first assignment of students to exercise groups will occur several hours after the first lecture.

In this way we avoid a first-come first-serve situation. At the same time we encourage you to make your decisions early enough, since after each wave the already occupied groups will not be selectable any more.
