Another problem which Hoffmann identified was the relationship between the Institute and the various departments of the University. Currently, the Institute is conducting undergraduate seminars without giving credit. A number of students, however, have complanied that they have to give priority to their credit courses before they can do any work for their non-credit seminars.
