Requirements, evaluation and grading
Mid-term study requirements
During the semester, attending the practicals is mandatory according to the rules of the TVSZ. 1. There is 1 mid-term examination during the semester. The closed-room thesis must be completed to 50%. 2. Furthermore, the presentation of a short professional presentation (in ppt format) on the selected topic is mandatory. This can be accepted together with the preliminary preparation and uploading of a Powerpoint presentation. 3. Finally, every student is required to actively participate in the development and presentation of a group project. From these three parts, the student collects an individual mid-term score, based on which he can request an offered grade or continue to the exam. This score also has a value in the outcome of the exam. (the exam consists of a written and oral part). The student can receive an offered grade if the ZH successfully writes the written part on the first, announced occasion - and meets the other two conditions. (Those who have to write an additional ZH are no longer entitled to the offered grade.) An offered grade can be requested by a student who got 76 points or more during the semester (from mentioned three parts). The date of closed room thesis is 7th week of semester, date of extra closed-room thesis is 9th week of semester.
Exam requirements
Students have to present their project in PPT of Prezi format. Presentations have to be presented during semester. Concrete titles and dates of presentations we agree together in 2nd week. Students, without presentation can not pass the exam. Projectwork – students have to solve group tasks and projects during semester. One group task and one project have to be solved and presented by student.

In this case, the course instructor is responsible for defining where and how GAI tools may be used in assignments. The course description must specify in detail how GAI tools may be used during the course.
