Examination information
Examination methodology
A combination of the checklists, two exams (an intermdediate and a finale exam) and an active participation in the discussion.
There are 10 checklists with 5 exercises (0.6 points each), resulting in a maximum of 30 points from the pre-assigned exercises. Each of two exams gives a maximum of 15 points (30 points for both). The final grade is an average of the both parts: checklists and exam. However, in each part a minimum of 15 points is required to get a positive evaluation.
