280500 VU Extragalactic Astronomy (2023S)

The final grade is computed as follows:
* 50% based on exam (Grade 1-5, grading scheme is shown below). To successfully complete the lecture it is mandatory to pass the exam (i.e. grade 4 or better).
* 40% based on presentations in exercise groups in teams of 2-3 students each; grades 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 or 5;
Attendance: missing more than two exercise groups without excuse results in downgrading by one grade unit (e.g., from 1 to 2) for each missed exercise group;
* 10% based active participations by asking questions during presentations by colleague students;
Contributions to all parts of VU are mandatory. Only for those students who failed to pass the 1st exam, a 2nd exam will be conducted around end of September 2023.
