Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
The learning outcome is tested in a written exam. Participation in tutorials is strongly recommended.
There will be a bonus (one intermediate stepping of "0,3" to the better grade) on passed module exams (4,3 is not upgraded to 4,0). The bonus is applicaple to the exam period directly following the lecture period (not to the exam repetition) if the student obtained at least 60% of the points in the homework sheets and presented their solutions once in the exercise groups.
Exam Repetition
The exam may be repeated at the end of the semester.
