FAQs
The videos are not a prerequisite for learning specific content, but rather are intended to support the acquisition of key concepts. The videos are not a substitute for attending the courses.
Students on the major STEM degree programmes in the first semesters in particular can benefit from the videos in parallel to attending lectures and preparing for exams. The videos can also be used to refresh important concepts during the rest of the degree programme.
The content is carefully selected and compiled by your lecturers themselves. A link to your basic lectures is always taken into account by using the familiar notations and terminology.
So far, institutes from the fields of engineering, physics, mathematics and chemistry are involved in the media library.
The videos are available in the media centre and on the central platform for teaching content "ZOERR" of the universities in Baden-Württemberg. https://www.oerbw.de/
