Grading (Leistungsnachweis)

• Written final examination ("Semesterendprüfung SEP")
  • Can be written electronically (on one's own device)
  • Includes coding
  • Accounts for at least 80% of the final assessment
• Mini projects
  • Mini projects are optional
  • Deliverable is a presentation at the end of the term (last lecture)
  • The grading only counts if it is better than the final examination ("Bonussystem")
