Ik vermoed dat dit stuk goed alle hoofdstukken van het boek dekt, maar het komt niet overeen met de volgorde van het vak zoals het nu wordt gegeven en loopt daardoor niet synchroon met hoe het tentamen nu geleerd moet worden. Jammer!

Hoi Kiki, Ik heb dit vak in 2016 gevolgd en toen werd het wel in de volgorde gegeven die je terugziet in het document. De universiteit past vakken regelmatig aan, daardoor kan het zijn dat het nu minder goed overeenkomt. Desalniettemin is het een uitgebreide samenvatting van het boek en dus erg handig :)
