Hinweis in eigener Sache

Request for letters of recommendation: I am perfectly willing to author letters of recommendation for those who have taken part in at least one of my courses and, ideally, have participated actively. Also note that I can only accept requests that reach me at least 10 days (holidays and school vacations excluded) before the letter of recommendation needs to be handed in.
