| Criteria for evaluation |
In total, students have the opportunity to achieve 100 points, 40 (40%) for the exam and 60 (60%) for the homework examples. A minimum of 20 points on the exam is required to receive a positive grade.
The following grading scheme applies:
| Points | Grade |
|---|
| 87.5-100.0 | Very good |
| 75.0-87.0 | Good |

| 50.0-62.0 | Sufficient |
| 0.0-49.5 | Not sufficient |
Exam:
- Individual exam. The exam consists of two different categories of questions. The first category relates to practical calculations, while the second category may require the use of Excel Solver to arrive at a solution.
Homework examples:
- There are homework examples that must be submitted via moodle. Students will receive feedback via moodle.
Synchronization of learning outcomes and assessment:
- LO1: exam + homework examples
- LO2: exam + homework examples
- LO3: exam + homework examples
