Assessment and permitted materials

Written exam (60 points) and bonus points (6 points)

Written exam:
A combination of multiple choice and open questions with a majority multiple choice questions. No materials or aids are permitted for the exam.

Bonus points: During the semester additional exercises to the contents of this lecture will be provided on Moodle, which will be announced and described in the respective digital lectures. Completing these exercises will grant you bonus points that count towards the final written exam.

Can I pass the lecture solely based on bonus points?
No, bonus points alone are insufficient to obtain a positive final evaluation of the lecture. However, a negative result on the written exam that was almost a pass might be turned positive due to bonus points.

Do I require bonus points to obtain the total number of points on the written exam?
No, the total number of points on the final written exam can be obtained without bonus points. There will be no disadvantage for you if you do not have any bonus points. However, if you do obtain bonus points, your grade can improve by up to maximum one grade (e.g. if you obtain a good 3, the bonus points might boost your grade to a 2).

How can I keep track of my bonus points?
Your bonus points will be documented in a database on Moodle.

How long are the obtained bonus points valid?
The bonus points will be valid for all four exams of this lecture in summer semester 2023 (until the end of the winter semester 2023).
