Oral examination. Apointments for oral examination by arrangement (E-mail to ipp at hep.itp dot tuwien dot ac.at).
There are voluntary weekly assignments: if 2/3 of the assignments are handed in, a base mark for the course is determined, which can optionally be improved by an oral examination. Assignments have to be handed in at the end of the lecture, and there is feedback at the end of the lecture of the following week. If the base mark is 1, the certificate will be issued automatically, in all other cases only after a possible oral examination or after waiving it (by e-mail to ipp @ hep.itp dot tuwien dot ac.at)
