| Criteria for evaluation |
The module course (consisting of lectures and exercises) is assessed on the basis of written
exams and practical work. All of the listed work is therefore explicitly included in the
assessment of the exercise. The following scheme is used:
| Assessment Type | Learning Outcomes |
|---|
| Written exams 50 points - as 2 exams for part 1 and part 2 (according to documents) - approximately mid-semester and end of semester, 25 points each. / As a full exam or as part of the re-exam approximately end of semester or lecture-free period, 50 points | The exams consist of open and/or multiple-choice questions on the content taught in the module and are used to assess the individual acquisition of the described knowledge (LO1-LO2) and selected skills. (LO3-LO10) |
| Completing tasks from the exercise, 40 points | The exercise tasks serve to convey selected skills and competencies and to assess the acquisition of selected skills and competencies. (LO3-LO10) |
| Active participation in the exercise, 10 points | Active participation in the exercise serves to continuously promote the motivation of the learners and to continuously assess individual progress. (LO3-LO10) |
At least one date for the overall exam is offered, in which all content (part 1 and part 2) must be passed. In addition, up to 10 bonus points can be achieved within the framework of the lecture through active and prepared participation in the lectures or through the independent development of content. If a positive assessment is achieved in the mandatory performance assessments, the bonus points are added and can improve the module grade.
To receive 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 must be achieved in each module part (lecture, exercise). Students who only need a lecture certificate for study-related reasons will be given access to the materials from the exercise.
|
| Methods |
The course content is conveyed in the form of an interactive, discussion- and case study-based lecture, which is accompanied and supplemented by a practice session. The lecture uses a flipped classroom concept in which students independently work on content that is then discussed in joint lecture sessions. The lecture content and recordings are available at lecture2.ie.jku.at (access data can be found in Moodle). In order to participate meaningfully in the discussions during the flipped classroom sessions, it is necessary to work on the specified content before the respective unit. The module course consists of a lecture (VL) and a practice session (UE), which are coordinated with each other and therefore must be attended in the same semester. Based on the lecture material, practical problems must be solved and presented in group work in the practice session. The exam dates are announced in KUSSS, and the mandatory exam registration also takes place via KUSSS.

Use of AI tools
The use of AI tools in the context of performance assessment (e.g. exams, written work and submissions of any kind that are used to assess performance) is not permitted for this course. If AI tools are used to create performance, this is considered the use of unauthorized aids with the consequences set out in the JKU statutes.
