Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Fundamental introduction in theory and practice to specialized communication and terminology, in particular to characteristics of language for special purposes and specialized communication. We will discuss principles of terminology science and work and different perspectives of terminology science and research on specialized communication.

Assessment and permitted materials

Written exam with multiple-choice and open questions (not open book) and bonus points (if in person); written exam with open questions (not open book) and bonus points with exam to be downloaded (if digital).

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 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 on the Moodle page of the lecture.

How long are the obtained bonus points valid?
The bonus points are at maximum valid until the end of the semester following the semester of the lecture (e.g. lecture 2021W - bonus points are valid for all 4 exam dates of 2021W).
