Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Erasmus and Master's students who are not fluent in German don't have to take the German multiple-choice-test at the end of the course. They are allowed to take a written exam in English (this counts for 60% of the final grading) AND write a paper in English of 6.000 words (40% of final grading).For successfully finishing the course, both – the exam and the paper – have to be graded positively. If the exam is negative and the paper positive, students do not have to write the paper again (the grading for the paper remains), but they have to repeat the written exam. Students are legally allowed to repeat this written exam three times (four attempts); the forth examination is organized by an external commission. If the paper is negative, students have to re-submit a revised version of the text.Written exam:
5 points for each question, 5 questions have to be answered (in total 25 points) 1: 25-22/ 2: 21,5-19/ 3: 18,5-16/ 4: 15,5-12,5/ 5: <12,5 (<50% = not passed)
