Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
The written report demonstrates the student’s ability to summarize the theoretical background of a bioelectronic experiment and to analyze and evaluate the results. The regular discussions with the tutor measure the student’s ability to follow an experimental concept within a given timeframe and identify challenges at the interface of electronics and biology.
Exam Repetition
There is a possibility to take the exam in the following semester.
