I have held the lecture and now I am happy. Everything went real well although I had some problems at the beginning to explain the technical terms part. To my surprise the class was real empty. Of those 21 students counted last time there were only 15 present! But I would say the topics were actually not that boring (were they?). For those who have missed the presentation (and of course also for those who have listened) there is a handout available for download. Just click here or go to the Center for US-Studies where you also find the course schedule.
Well, anyway... thank you again for listening and for being patient because I needed some more time than the actual lesson was.
