Hinweise This course is a self-study course and counts as a requirement course. It is completely held online (with the exception of non-mandatory in-person counselling sessions). Students work on their own based on the provided materials.
For this course, if students want to gain ECTS-points, students have to register via Uniportal during the usual exam registration period and there will be an in-person exam during the usual exam session at the end of the semester. The date will be announced via the exam plan.
Master students who have been admitted with requirements can attend this course and gain ECTS-points within the requirement module after passing the exam. This course is not open to Bachelor students and cannot be taken in lieu of the in-person course.
The course is also open to master’s students, who do not have to fulfill requirements. If they decide to write the exam and gain ECTS-points, it will be counted towards the Additional Achievements module. It will show up on their transcript of records, but the grade does not count towards their GPA.
