Learning and Teaching Methods
During the lectures students are instructed in a teacher-centered style. In addition to lectures the consolidated knowledge is aspired by repeated lessons in exercises and tutorials.
Optional seminar topics are offered to consolidate the knowledge in special sub area of the lecture. The seminar topics will be prepared by the students during their self-study hours and will be presented during the exercises.

Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
There will be an oral exam of about 20 minutes duration. Therein the achievements of the competencies given in the learning outcome is tested exemplarily at least to the given cognition level using comprehension questions and sample calculations. For example, an assignment in the exam might be:
- What are typical safety precautions for patient and operator protection?
- What are typical error control techniques in hardware and software design?
- Describe the limitations of non-ideal electronic components.
During the semester, seminar topics are offered optionally. These seminar topics can be used to improve the final exam mark. The seminar part contains the preparation of the topic, the presentation during the exercise and a discussion within the group.
The final mark of the module is made up of:
- 100% the final exam
A successfull seminar part will give a bonus of 0.3 to the final mark of the oral exam.
