 Tutorium/"Kreuzerlübung" (20%):

At the beginning of each tutorium the students marks those exercises which they have prepared. If the student presents one of these at the black board, a weighting factor between 0 and 1 is assigned,  The Tutorium is evaluated according to the Eq.:

     minimum (% of marked exercises  * mean weighting factor for the black board presentation)

The Tutorium with the least marked exercises is not included  ( "Streichresult"  for not prepared Tutorium or for missed tutorium in case of illness),

50% of the combined points (tests and tutorium) are needed to pass (grade 4). 62.5% for grade  3, 75% for grade  2, 87.5% for grade 1.

Please register in TISS for the course as well as an exercise group until 4.10.2018! You cannot drop the course without getting a grade after you participate in one of the exercise classes.
