Abstract :
The number of students in major classes for freshmen courses easily exceeds 2.000 students. In this paper, the MOSESKONTO-environment is presented - which helps computing an optimal assignment into exercise groups and provides means for tracking and managing exam registration. Based on the data from summer term 2005, already 50% of all bachelor exams were managed through the MOSESKONTO at TU Berlin.
