Discription
The school mathematics pre-semester course for biology often receives criticism through the participants. The main criticism is, that the courses mostly do not start with mathematical basics which the students know. Goal of the project is to evaluate the current state of the course.

Role of the students
The role of the students is to mainly evaluate the worksheets the students work on during the course. Evaluate where the current problems are and how to change the worksheets for the needs of the students.

Qualifications
A good understanding of the mathematical courses in the first semester of biology is necessary. This includes analysis in more than one dimension, fundamental linear algebra, fundamental differential equations, complex-valued equations, and statistics of standard deviation and mean value

Additonal infomation
Some part of the project was already prepared by a bachelor student.
