Studies that include this course
Completion option 1
There is a final exam in the end of the course that is the only compulsory part required to pass. Active participation in lectures and exercise sessions as well as completing a final project work will certainly facilitate passing the course and gain activity points that render earning higher grade easier. Doctoral students are required to complete some extra, more demanding, tasks (e.g., which was teaching one lecture in Spring 2019 but the implementation may change depending on the number of participants) in addition to what is required from M.Sc. students.
All parts of the completion option are compulsory.
