Module Exam

Description of exams and course work

The module examination is based on an assignment, which will be prepared in groups of three students. The lecturer gives several topics and every group picks two topics from different fields and prepares them in an assignment of maximum 30 pages of digital writing (15 pages for each topic). Students have to clearly indicate which section originates from which student.

Exam Repetition

The exam may be repeated at the end of the semester.

Current exam dates

Currently TUMonline lists the following exam dates. In addition to the general information above please refer to the current information given during the course.
