Did you have any problems enrolling on your modules?

There doesn’t seem to be a German word for registration, I realise this is against all stereotypes of German people. 'Registration' here means, go to the first lecture of the module and hope that there is enough seats to fit you in. Quite often there wasn’t. There was one module where I had to refuse to move from the floor so that I could take the module, thankfully I can now report I have a seat. The only other problem was that I failed to get a place on a module that I would have like to have taken, but this was my fault as I mixed up the times for the first lecture and after talking to the lecturer I learnt that the module was now fully booked. With this I am now taking 29 ETCS credit this term, so I will have to take at least 31 ETCS credits next term, but this should not be a problem. Registration has been exhausting and often frustrating. Information on modules is not localised so you have to really sit down and spend a lot of careful time researching times and dates, and locations. The timetable and portal here just doesn’t work. Often lectures have give us there own personal websites, so in addition to you morning routine you have to check a) all the lectures websites b) the portal c) emails d) the 'cancelled lectures' list. Its not the best way to start a days studying. As in all universities, your timetable can get very complicated, but when you have to organise, or create your own timetable system, with no way of automatically updating changes, its gets very tiresome and you have to expect that some times you are going to just miss something.
