A total of 2 ECTS are awarded for the course. This corresponds to an average workload of 50 hours (50 x 60 min). The distribution of ECTS is shown below. Please note that this does not correspond to the weighting for the allocation of grades, but to the amount of time planned for each student. As the course is structured in such a way that students will regularly carry out small tasks, it is advisable to plan the required time in advance. Roughly 1.5 hours of additional time per week should be expected.
