Art der Prüfung
Each lecturer will propose a project and conduct an oral exam, assessing the two parts with a score between 18 and 30 or a fail. The amount of work required for each part will be proportional to the number of teaching hours of the lecturer. Each part counts for 50% of the mark awarded by the lecturer. The exam is considered passed if the marks for all parts fall within the range 18-30. If the exam is passed, the student's final mark will be the average of the marks given by the lecturers, weighted according to the number of teaching hours of each. Otherwise, any valid marks for individual parts are retained for all 3 regular exam sessions, until all other parts are also completed with a valid mark. After the 3 regular exam sessions, all marks become invalid. The project verifies whether the student is able to apply the concepts presented in the course to solve concrete problems in the fields of health and sports. It is assessed through a final presentation, a demo, and a project report and can be carried out either individually or in a group of 2 students. The oral exam comprises questions to assess the knowledge acquired during the course and its application. Non-attending students have the same assessment criteria and requirements for passing the exam as attending students.

Bewertungskriterien
Relevant for the oral exam: clarity of answers; ability to recall principles and methods, and deep understanding about the course topics presented in the lectures; skills in applying knowledge to solve exercises about the course topics; skills in critical thinking. Relevant for the project: skill in applying knowledge in a practical setting; ability to summarize in own words; ability to develop correct solutions for complex problems; ability to write a quality report; ability in presentation; ability to work in teams. Non-attending students have the same evaluation criteria and requirements for passing the exam as attending students.

Pflichtliteratur

All the required reading material will be provided during the course and will be available in electronic format. Copy of the slides will be available as well.
