Art der Prüfung
Examination methods for attending and non-attending students - Midterm exam (optional): multiple-choice questions on the first part (1/3) of the programme. The grade, expressed on a thirty-point scale, counts for 33% of the final mark and remains valid throughout the academic year (until September 2026). The exam date will be announced on the OLE or Teams course platform. - The final exam includes two options: Option A – if the midterm exam has been successfully completed (short exam): Written examination with open-ended questions on the remaining part of the programme (2/3) not covered in the midterm exam. The grade counts for 67% of the final mark. Option B – if the midterm exam has not been taken or passed (long exam): Written examination on the entire programme, consisting of both multiple-choice questions and open-ended questions. For all examination options, students are allowed to consult a bilingual dictionary, which must be handed to the examination board 15 minutes before the beginning of the test for the necessary checks. For attending students: Additional points may be awarded for active participation (not mere attendance) in the exercises and for the presentation of a topic during the course, as well as for active participation (not mere attendance) in the lectures. These additional points may be added only if the exam mark is sufficient (18/30). For non-attending students: Non-attending students may also agree with the course lecturer to prepare a presentation on a specific topic, which may result in one additional point. The additional point may be added only if the exam mark is sufficient (18/30). Note: Not attending the course, the exercises, and/or not giving the presentation does NOT preclude the possibility of obtaining the highest mark (30/30 cum laude).
