actual development of exercises was similarly dictated by the local needs, as also what was possible. Most of the exercises were therefore simple. What the students could do easily and was also needed by the community, stayed, while what was difficult and/or was not useful as service to the community, was dropped. Perhaps, there are still a few which do not fit in the above description. But this seems a good guideline for drafting the syllabus.
