Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
The imparted knowledge is tested in written (90 min) in the form of short questions (understanding) and applied examples (calculations).
Allowed aids: non-programmable calculator, formulary (will be handed out with exam).
Note in view of the limitations on university operations as a result of the CoViD19 pandemic: If the basic conditions (hygiene, physical distance rules, etc.) for a classroom-based examination cannot be met, the planned form of examination can be changed to a written or oral online examination in accordance with §13a APSO. The decision about this change will be announced as soon as possible, but at least 14 days before the date of the examination by the examiner after consultation with the board of examiners of the respective study program.
