Topics:

• Weak form of PDE's
• Poisson equation with Dirichlet data and uniqueness of the solution
• Schauder estimates (just statements, no prooves)
• Elliptic regularity, especially the final theorem of that chapter, idea about H1 estimates
• Application of the strong maximum principle

In general he is very polite and patient. Often if one doesn't know the answer at first shot he will give some time to think about it and also helps you with hints. The exam is on the blackboard but often he only asks you to write down little bits and explain the rest orally. It seemed to me that he is well aware of my nervousness and tried to calm me down by the way he phrased his questions. Over all it was definitely one of my most relaxed oral exams I have had at ETH so far.
