Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Grading of the course is based on the separate assessment of the different tasks on a scale of 1-5.

Written paper: 45 percent, individually assessed, individual feedback by the lecturer is provided in Raach;
Oral presentation: 15 percent, individually assessed, feedback provided by the lecturer upon request;
Commentary (written + oral): 20 percent, individually assessed, feedback on request;
Active participation in the discussion, punctuality of submission - in particular of paper and sketch: 20 percent, individually assessed, no feedback.

Each partial performance is independently evaluated. Attendance during the three days of the seminar in June, punctuality in handing in papers and adherence to academic standards are required, but can have a negative effect on the overall grade if they are not adhered to. To achieve a positive grade, the weighted average of the sub-grades must be greater than or equal 4.5.

Important Grading Information
If not explicitly noted otherwise, all requirements mentioned in the grading scheme and the attendance regulations must be met. If a required task is not fulfilled, e.g. a required assignment is not handed in or if the student does not meet the attendance requirements, this will be considered as a discontinuation of the course. In that case, the course will be graded as ‘fail’ (5), unless there is a major and unpredictable reason for not being able to fulfill the task on the student's side (e.g. a longer illness). In such a case, the student may be de-registered from the course without grading. It is the student’s responsibility to communicate this in a timely manner, and to provide relevant evidence to their claims if necessary. Whether this exception applies is decided by the Vice-Director of the study program.
If any requirement of the course has been fulfilled by fraudulent means, be it for example by cheating at an exam or plagiarizing parts of a written assignment, the entire course will be graded as ‘not assessed’ and will be entered into the electronic exam record as ‘fraudulently obtained’. Self-plagiarism, particularly re-using own work handed in for other courses, will be treated likewise.

Presence
Attendance is compulsory during the entire duration of the seminar from 8-10 June 2023.
