alphabetisch nach den Nachnamen der Betreuer sortiert.
Es haben nicht alle Betreuer Hinweise abgegeben und auch bei denjenigen Betreuern, die Hinweise
übermittelt haben, fehlen ggfs. Hinweise für einzelne Themen.
Einige Betreuer geben ihre Vorstellung von einer Projektarbeit und Hinweise zur Startliteratur erst
heraus, wenn sie angeschrieben werden. Deshalb solltet ihr in jedem Fall euren Betreuer frühzeitig
anschreiben und abklären, was in der Projektarbeit von euch erwartet wird und ob es Startliteratur
gibt.
Wir wünschen euch viel Erfolg.

several of the relevant dimensions and focus on one or two of them for a critical assessment. Basic
interest in game theory is recommended.
