| Criteria for evaluation |
A total of 120 points can be achieved over the course of the semester, with the following assessment scheme applying:
| Points | Grade |
|---|
| 105.5-120.0 | Very good |
| 90.5-105.0 | Good |
| 75.5-90.0 | Satisfactory |
| 60.5-75.0 | Sufficient |
| 0.0-60.0 | Insufficient |
The 120 points can be achieved as follows:
1. Exams: 60 points
Two (present/written) partial exams will be held, each lasting 30 minutes and worth 30 points. The first partial exam takes place in the middle of the semester, the second at the end of the semester. In addition, a follow-up exam is offered, in which students can repeat or catch up on the first and/or second partial exam. In the case of double participation in a partial exam, the better score counts. The exams consist of open and closed questions as well as calculation examples.
2. Participation: 60 points
As this is an intensive course, active participation in the course is of great importance. A total of 60 participation points can be earned. Participation consists of three components, the distribution of points for which can change slightly every semester:
- Homework: 4 to 8 tasks are set, which must be completed alongside the course.
- Attendance: Attendance is compulsory for 50% of the dates. Attendance beyond this will also be rewarded with points.
- Active participation: Active participation in discussions and involvement in class activities are expected and will be assessed with points.
Feedback culture:
The students receive their partial points in the individual assessment-relevant areas (partial exam
1, partial exam 2, homework, attendance, active participation) via Moodle. In addition, feedback discussions are offered for both
partial exams after selected course dates.
Assessment criteria and learning outcome:
Exams: LO1, LO2, LO3, LO4, LO5, LO6, LO7, LO9, LO10
Collaboration: LO1, LO2, LO3, LO5, LO6, LO8, LO9, LO10

| Methods |
There are several teaching methods to achieve the learning outcomes:
- Teacher-centered information input during the course, supported by slides and literature recommendations.
- Interactive exercises, case studies, group and individual work, calculation examples, and discussions during the course.
- Guest lectures by practitioners to clarify the practical relevance and intensify networking with practice.
- Homework on various topics, in individual or group work, to ensure that the learning outcomes are achieved.
- There is a Moodle course to accompany the course. Content such as slides and additional documents, newspaper articles, etc. are made available here, work assignments can be uploaded, students receive feedback on their performance, and there is a discussion forum for all kinds of questions.
