Assessment and permitted materials

Business English II is assessed by means of
• Presentation (30%)
• Written Test 1 (39%)
• Written Test 2 (31%)

Please note that alternative dates or times cannot be offered for the exams.
In order to pass the course, students must
1) reach an overall percentage score of at least 60% and
2) meet the attendance requirements.

No dictionaries or other reference materials are allowed in the exam.
The use of AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT) for the production of texts is only permitted if they are expressly requested by the course leader (e.g. for individual work tasks).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The students will be awarded a grade on the basis of their overall percentage score as follows:
0 - 59.9% = Nicht Genügend
60 - 69% = Genügend
70 - 79% = Befriedigend
80 - 89% = Gut
90 - 100% = Sehr Gut

In order to pass the course, students must
1) reach an overall percentage score of at least 60% and
2) meet the attendance requirements.

No dictionaries or other reference materials are allowed in the exam.
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 students miss more than three sessions without good cause, this will automatically result in a fail. If students miss more than three sessions on medical grounds, they will be deregistered upon providing evidence from their doctor.

Attendance is compulsory due to the course's interactive structure, which includes teamwork-based discussions, role plays, case study analysis and presentations accompanied by peer feedback.
Failure to attend the first session without prior notification will result in losing the place in the course.
