Beurteilungskriterien (*)Regular homework exercises that must be submitted online via Moodle. The homework exercises are worth 30 points. Exam at the end of the semester with 70 points. At least 35 points on the exam are needed to pass the course. There is a possibility to repeat it in case of negative results or scheduling issues (retry exam). The exam consists of programming tasks. It lasts 90 minutes.

Final grades will be given as follows:

PointsGrade
87.5 - 100.01
75.0 - 87.02
62.5 - 74.53

Both the homework exercises and the exam cover all the learning outcomes

Lehrmethoden (*)The course uses a combination of different teaching methods in order to

  1. maximize the motivation and attention of the students.
  2. address the learning objectives in the didactically best way.

This includes the following

  • Teacher-centred information inputs, supported by slides and literature
  • Development of content in collaboration with the students on the computer and the black board
  • Development of solutions to exercise problems in groups, followed by joint discussions with the whole group
