It will be possible to obtain bonus points (at most 10%) via a project. Details will be provided in the lecture.
- the final number of points will be calculated by adding bonus and exam points (e.g., 10%+41%=51%, 6%+60%=66% etc.)
- 100% of the grade can also be reached without bonus points, via the exam
- Bonus points from the VO from last year can be used alternatively

The test will be conducted via Moodle (online) and will contain multiple-choice questions and free text questions. The duration of the exam will be 90 minutes. The questions will be in both English and German, and you can answer in both English and German.

The multiple-choice part (1/3 of the points) consists of true / false questions which result in plus points if answered positively, minus points if answered negatively, and no points if not answered. However, the entire multiple-choice part cannot result in less than 0 points.

You may use any material that was provided/referenced by us and your own notes. However, any material that you copy over directly (i.e., not using your own words) during the exam must be referenced. If you prepare your own material, you must use your own words, as the exam will be checked by Turnitin.
