            Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

            Business English I is assessed by means of:
            Midterm exam (25%)
            Final written exam (39%)
            Written test (30%)
            participation (6%) – class participation and homework submissions on moodle

            Exam dates:

            Midterm exam: to be confirmed
            Final written exam: to be confirmed
            Written test: to be confirmed - exact details will be announced in the first lecture
            Please note that alternative dates cannot be offered.

            The use of dictionaries and any other referencing material is not permitted during any of the exams or assessments.

            In order to pass the course, participants must:
            1. reach an overall percentage score (PS) of at least 60%
            2. meet the attendance/participation requirements.
            It is the student's responsibility to sign the attendance register at the beginning of each lesson. Failure to do so will be recorded as an "absence".

            Students will be awarded a grade on the basis of their overall percentage score (PS) as follows:

            0 - 59,9% = Nicht Genügend
            60 - 69% = Genügend
            70 - 79% = Befriedigend
            80 - 89% = Gut
            90 - 100% = Sehr Gut

            According to university regulation, this course is "prüfungsimmanent", which means that physical attendance is mandatory and in principle students must attend every class. Exceptionally, they may miss a maximum of three sessions. If they miss more than three sessions without good cause, they automatically fail.

            Failure to attend the first session without prior notification will result in losing the place in the course.
