Following the introductory course on Computer Architecture, I also served as a Teaching Assistant and Tutorial Coordinator for the subsequent **"Betriebssysteme" (Operating Systems)** lecture at LMU Munich, taught by Prof. Dr. Linnhoff-Popien. This course typically enrolled 300-400 students per semester.
