Details on the oral examination

The oral examination will assess your knowledge of the theory presented in the course. Since the scope of the lecture is rather large, the content of the lecture notes will be divided into two blocks and you will only be assessed on your knowledge of only one of these blocks. You will be informed on which block you should prepare at least 24 hours before your examination.

• Block A - Structure theory of G-sets (Chapter 2) and Modules over PIDs (Chapter 10)
• Block B - The Sylow Theorems (Chapter 4) and The Artin-Wedderburn Theorem (Chapter 8) and Finiteness properties of rings and modules (Chapter 9)

Extra material will not be assessed in the oral examination.
