Zeit und Ort
LV-Beschreibung
Lehrmethodik inkl. Einsatz von eLearning-Tools
The lecture consists of two parts. In the lecture the theoretical knowlegde - based on the course book - will be acquired. In the course part this knowledge will be deepend with practical examples. All courses are parallel and identical in their structure.
For the practical part you have to prepare thegiven practical examples for every session, whereas 50 practical examples are given (10 topics with 5 questions each topic). Every example counts 0.6 credits a maximum of 30 credits can be reached. For special active participation,however, bonus credits can be gained.
If you have prepared the practical examples properly, then you need to tick the boxes at ZEUS until 4 p.m. the day before the next session. During the session the practical examples will be presented and explained by the students at the board. The students will be chosen randomly according to the ticked boxes in the ZEUS list. According to the random principle, a student who ticked the example the day before, is chosen to present. Each student should present at least 2 times during the semester depending on the group size.
If you are absent, or we recognize that you have not prepared the example or haven’t prepared the example on your own, you will get malus credits. The total amount of malus credits for the whole course are 10 credits. Therefore, please only tick the examples you have understood and prepared on your own. It is important that you can explain the examples and that you understand them. The understanding is the essential part for being marked.
It is no problem if you make small mistakes during your presentation because nobody is perfect. We recommend that you prepare all examples in the first sessions because at the beginning they are not that complex and it will help you to find your way into the topic from the beginning onwards.
