Assessment and permitted materials

A total of 100 points can be achieved in this course.
The criteria for the performance assessment are divided as follows:

• Participation (through clicker questions [single-choice, multiple-choice, cloze, drag&drop via Moodle] during each lessen; share of the overall grade: 10% = 10 points),
• Acting as a sparring partner for an assigned lesson (includes a presentation on a given topic/CJEU-case and the function as a primary discussion partner for the course leader; share of the overall grade: 25% = 25 points)
• an intermediate exam (share of the final grade: 20% = 20 points) and
• a final exam (share of the overall grade: 45% = 45 points).

Both exams (intermediate and final) are held in writing in German. Only unannotated law texts, non-programmable calculators and non-electronic dictionaries may be used in the exams.
Only underlining and highlighting of text passages with highlighters etc. as well as the use of Post-Its are permitted. Post-Its may only be labelled with titles of laws/abbreviations of laws. Prohibited are therefore in particular: Any paragraph headings, commentaries or even individual words, examination schemes, other signs, additional sheets as well as paragraph references and chains of references.

An assessment is also made if students have participated in the course at least once (e.g. signature performance).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Distribution of grades:
1: 87.5% - 100% (87.5 points - 100 points)
2: 75% - 87% (75 points - 87 points)
3: 63.5% - 74.5% (63.5 points – 74.5 points)
4: 50.5% - 63% (50.5 points - 63 points)
5: up to 50% (up to 50 points).

From 50.5% (= 50.5 points) the course is positively completed.

Attendance is compulsory for the course. Unexcused absence from the first class automatically leads to deregistration in order to allow students on the waiting list to move up. If you are unable to attend the first class, you must inform us in advance by email in order to continue attending the course.

Overall, absence from the course more than twice will result in a negative grade. Excuses for absence are not required (except for the first class).
