Requirements, evaluation and grading
Mid-term study requirements
During the semester, one final examination will be written, which can be corrected or made up once.
Exam requirements
The exam must be taken orally and during the exam period.
Generative AI usage
1st position: The use of GAI tools is not permitted when solving tasks. This means that GAI tools cannot be used when creating or solving formative or summative assessment elements, and the use of generative AI constitutes academic misconduct. The use of AI tools for language and spelling checking is not subject to the complete ban under the 1st position.
