eLearning

Learning and Teaching Methods

For each lecture one or two scientific papers will be provided prior to the lecture

Students are asked to read the papers priors to the lecture

during the lecture the papers are explained and additional information are added in a more global context

additional references are provided in the lectures

Questions are discussed at the end of each lecture to check the comprehension of the subject

Lecture notes are provied prior to each lectures

Media

Slides, papers, dedicated book references

Literature

provided during the lectures, prior to them

Module Exam

Description of exams and course work

In a written exam of 60 minutes the learning outcome is tested using comprehension questions and sample problems.

In accordance with §12 (8) APSO the exam can be done as an oral exam. In this case the time duration is 25 minutes.
