| Criteria for evaluation |
The module course (consisting of lecture and exercise) is assessed on the basis of written exams and practical performance. All listed achievements are thus explicitly included in the evaluation of the exercise. The following scheme is applied:
| Assessment Typ | Learning Outcomes |
|---|
| Written exams 50 points in total: 1.: as 2 exams for Part 1 and Part 2 (according to the documents) - approximately in the middle of the semester and at the end of the semester, 25 points each. 2.: as a full exam or as part of the additional exam – around the end of the semester or lecture-free period, 50 points | The exams, consisting of open and/or multiple choice questions on the content taught in the module and serve to assess the individual acquisition of the described knowledge (LO1, LO2) and selected skills. (LO3, LO4, LO5, LO6 and LO9) |
| Processing of exercises and homework from the exercise (UE units), 40 points | The exercises serve to teach selected skills and competencies and to assess the acquisition of selected skills and competences. (LO6, LO7, LO8) |
| active participation in the exercise (UE units), 10 points | Active participation in the exercise serves to continuously promote the motivation of the learners as well as to continuously assess individual progress. (LO6, LO7, LO8) |
At least one date for the full exam is offered, in which all content (part 1 and part 2) must be completed positively. Through active and prepared participation in the lecture dates or through the independent development of content, up to 10 bonus points can also be achieved during the lecture (FC sessions). If a positive assessment is achieved in the mandatory performance assessments, the bonus points are added up and can improve the module grade.
For a positive assessment, at least 40% of the possible points must be achieved in each sub-area (exam for part 1, exam for part 2, tasks in the exercise, participation) and at least half of the points per module part (lecture, exercise). Students who only need a lecture certificate for reasons of study law will have access to the documents from the exercise.
Nutzung von KI / Usage of AI-Tools:
The use of AI tools in the context of performance assessment (e.g. exams, written papers and submissions of any kind that are used for the assessment of performance) is not permitted for this course, unless work with AI tools is expressly requested and permitted by the course instructor as part of the task (e.g. homework statement).
If AI tools are used for the performance without the consent of the course instructor, this is considered to be the use of unauthorized aids with all the consequences specified in the JKU statutes.
In the event of explicit permission or requirement for the use of AI tools by the respective course instructor, the following regulations apply to complete documentation:
- Complete documentation of the use of the AI tool(s) (tool, type of use, input (prompting) / type of output (e.g. text, image, ...), date of use, provision of the chat link).
- In written elaborations (e.g. homework, essays, etc.): Marking the content processed by AI tools and naming what kind of service the AI has provided (e.g. research purposes, linguistic improvement, grammar check, translations)
- Zitation lt. APA 7 – siehe https://guides.library.uwa.edu.au/apa/Gen_AI)
- Confirnation that no other tools have been used
- The responsibility for the accuracy of the content provided by the AI lies with the students.
- AI recognition software is used by the course instructors – a missing marking is considered plagiarism.

| Methods |
The course content is taught in the form of an interactive lecture based on discussion and case studies, which is accompanied and supplemented by exercise classes (UE).
The lecture uses a flipped classroom concept in which students independently develop content that is discussed in joint lecture sessions (FC-Sessions). The lecture content and recordings are available under lecture2.ie.jku.at (access data can be found in Moodle). In order to participate meaningfully in the discussions within the flipped classroom sessions and also the accompanying exercise units, it is necessary to work on the specified content before the respective unit.
The module course consists of a lecture (VL) and an exercise (UE), which are coordinated with each other and should therefore be attended in the same semester. Based on the lecture material, practical problems are to be solved and presented in group work in the exercise. The exam dates are announced in KUSSS, and the mandatory exam registration is also done via KUSSS.
