Classroom participation is immanently relevant for examination ("dieser Kurs ist eine Lehrveranstaltung mit immanentem Prüfungscharakter").

These will be available via the net and are relevant for the exams in addition to the material provided as lectures. Exams will be open-book.

Make-up exams are only available for students on sick leave (documented by immediately handing in a doctor s sickness note at the chair s office) or leaves supported by formal decision of the university, the faculty, and/or the institute.
