| Hinweise zur Prüfung | There are exercises and a written exam. You do not have to solve the exercises. If you hand in solutions to all the exercises, they will be marked. These marks are averaged together to give the preliminary mark. At the end of the term, there will be an examination. Your final mark will be the arithmetic mean of your preliminary mark and your examination mark if the arithmetic mean of your preliminary mark and your examination mark is greater than your examination mark. Otherwise, your final mark will be your examination mark. If you do not hand in the solutions to the exercises, your examination mark will be your final mark. |
