To pass the seminar you need a minimum of 21 out of a total of 40 points:

- 11 points: active participation in group works
- 10 points: active participation in discussions

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The university course (UK, lecture with exam) and the seminar (SE) are designed as
a package, so that on each course day the content of the lecture is rounded up by
corresponding group works and presentations. I therefore recommend taking both
courses. It is, however, also possible to register just for either the UK or the SE.
