Course Description
Students learn to participate actively in discussions on various topics, to give their opinion, to negotiate solutions in small groups and to find compromises. They acquire language structures and skills to reproduce information and present clearly structured presentations. In addition, students train to extract important information and detailed statements from texts on different academic fields. Using videos and listening exercises, students learn to understand longer academic texts and to filter for information on specific aspects. Regular writing exercises help students practice to present and justify their opinion on current topics, and to write personal accounts and commentaries. The class discusses current events in German society and in Berlin and examines news and points of view surrounding the topics of university, academic research, and international exchange. Finally, students also analyze language itself: learning German, language usage, communication, and intercultural aspects. The B2 level is split into two consecutive courses, the B2.1 course covers the first half of the level and the B2.2 course covers the second half of the level.

Course Description
This course addresses theoretical problems at the interface of game theory and computer science, often inspired by internet applications such as sponsored search, crowdsourcing, and social computing platforms. Game theory studies strategic interactions of multiple agents in situations where the well-being of a single agent depends not only on the agent's own actions, but also on the actions of other agents. The course begins by discussing fundamental concepts from game theory and investigating algorithmic aspects of solution concepts. Then students analyze internet-inspired algorithmic problems from a game-theoretic perspective.

Course Description
There is no dispute that an average global temperature rise of more than 2°C above the pre-industrial levels would lead to severe environmental and economic costs for society. A major challenge in tackling global warming is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, especially in the electricity sector. The “Energiewende” in Germany proves that a decarbonization of the electricity sector in combination with a shutdown of all nuclear capacities is (technically) manageable and economically viable. As a result, learning effects and reduced investment costs enable a market-driven worldwide roll-out of new technologies. In 2014, already 144 countries set renewable targets. The resulting new global renewable generation installations in 2014 consequently outnumbered the combined new fossil and nuclear capacities. This course provides a general understanding of the economic, engineering, and political aspects of energy transitions. Additional insight is gained by guest lectures from practitioners and field excursions.
