Assessment and permitted materials
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.
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 GutAccording 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 and case study analysis.
Failure to attend the first session without prior notification will result in losing the place on the course.
