Art der Prüfung
Attending students will be assessed through a project work, on topics agreed upon with the lecturer, partly developed and presented in class during the course, and a final written exam based on the materials from the entire programme, as analysed and discussed in class. The project work will account for 40% of the final grade, and will evaluate knowledge and understanding of the texts, analytical competence, and the ability to apply knowledge to potential professional situations with sound judgment. The written exam will account for 60%, assessing theoretical knowledge, analytical competence, and the ability to connect topics and synthesize information. Both will be graded on a scale of 30, and the final grade will be the weighted average of the two assessments. The written exam will consist of 5 open-ended questions (max. 6 points per question) to be completed within 1 hour and 15 minutes. For non-attending students, an oral exam on the program topics will be held, where theoretical knowledge, the ability to connect topics and synthesize information, analytical competence, the ability to apply knowledge to potential professional situations, and independent judgment will be assessed.
