Prüfungsleistung:
Exam: Written exam of 120 minutes, the exam grade is the overall grade of the module. We will offer the exam in both the exam-periods after the lecture. Exercise results are not part of the final grade.
Admission to the exam: To be admitted to the exam, students are allowed to fail at most two of the homework series and at most two of the tests (quiz) series. We consider a homework set or quiz set passed when the student achieves 50 or more percent of the points available. The teachers can lower the thresholds for admission upon individual requests.
Exam admissions stay valid also for future terms. Individual, passed homework sets or quizzes apply only for the current term and are not transferable to future terms.
