You have to pass the three passing tests before the final exam. Register for the final exam in Moodle in advance no later than May 19!

Final exam is in Zoom on 24.5. at 18:00 - 19:30. The final exam cannot be repeated.

Student workload

Web-based course: independent work 79 h, exam 2 h.

Further information

Each passing test gives in maximum 12 points. The maximum of the final exam is 64 points.

The applicant must obtain at least 50 points of the course to become chosen. The applicants are chosen in order of points, the highest score first.

The course is passed if the points of each passing test is at least 9 points and the points of the final exam are at least 51.
