Organisation and teaching styleLecture, tutorial
Course assessment, assessment mode

This module is a non compensable obligatory module. It is passed if

  1. lectures and tutorials were attended regularly and successfully (at least 50% of the in the tutorials accessible points have to be gained).
  2. the test is passed. If the test is not passed there will be the opportunity for a timely re-test (written or oral). If the re-test is not passed it is recommended to retry the course of the module with a subsequent second re-test. If the re-test is not passed the module is failed.
The module mark is the mark of the test (or re-test).
