Dieser Thread dient als Übersicht und benötigt die Beteiligung und Aufmerksamkeit aller!

Das heißt im Klartext, ihr Postet eure Stichpunkte, Verbesserungsvorschläge, Ergänzungen etc. unter meinem Post. Ich nehme diese mit in meinem auf und wir erhalten eine Übersicht in der so ziemlich alles stehen sollte. Natürlich wird dann auch euer Name in diesem Post stehen.

Ich hoffe auf rege Beteiligung, unsere Klausur ist schließlich schon am Montag!
