What will the teaching activity look like in the winter semester 2021/22?

What will the teaching activity look like in the Winter semester 2021/22?
In the winter semester, face-to-face teaching is possible again. The decision for face-to-face, online or hybrid teaching is up to the respective lecturers. https://www.lmu.de/en/about-lmu/information-regarding-the-coronavirus/information-on-studies-and-teaching/index.html
Computer Science:
The Institute of Computer Science has not yet published any information for the winter semester, but in the summer semester they let the teaching take place online. More detailed information about the last semester can be found on https://uni2work.ifi.lmu.de and on the lecture website (if existing): https://www.ifi.lmu.de/lehrangebot1
Mathematics:
The institute for Mathematics has also not yet released any information about the winter semester schedule. It is best to inform yourself on the websites of the lectures and ask lecturers of your courses.
Physics:
The facutly for Physics intends to teach in presence again if possible and have planned rooms for this. However, since it depends strongly on the political framework, reliable information will probably not become available until late September at the earliest.
Self-study
We have put together a small overview of programs and offers that facilitate self-study and group learning in times of social distancing. It can be found here.
At the moment it is still unknown in which format exams will take place at the end of WiSe 2021/22. It is best to keep an eye on the information channels of the individual courses, as the examination format is up to the lecturers.
For past online semesters, there were LMU regulations for conducting online exams: https://www.mathematik-informatik-statistik.uni-muenchen.de/e-mails-corona/satzungflexibilisierunpruefung.pdf

The Cafe Gumbel is closed indefinitely. We ask you to take this into account and prefer to stay at home.
In addition, the student council's office is not staffed.
Don't worry about the plant in the gumbel, it will be taken care of by a student body icon at home in the meantime.
Some university libraries open to borrow books. Reading- and workplaces must be booked through an online reservation portal.
The Department of Mathematics, Physics and Meterology Library has now reopened for borrowing:

Opening hours: Monday - Saturday, 9 am - 8 pm.
If you received your LMU ID card by mail, you have to activate it online first to be able to borrow. See the library website for details.

The current situation is of course not easy, neither for the university nor for the students. But there is nothing left but to wait and drink tea until it is clear how to proceed. Stay healthy and until better times!
