The examination is based on three tests (written on a computer) and the collaboration in six exercises (discussion of solutions of tasks). Each test will be honored with up to 30 points and each exercise with up to 5 points, giving up to 120 points in sum. To be positive more than 50% of the maximum number of points has to be achieved. In cases where a grading based on this simple system of points does not work (especially if participation in a test is not possible because of a severe reason or some points might have been achieved by cheating) an aural examination of the corresponding part will be used as replacement. No aural examination in replacement of a test is possible because of another job, holiday, exam nerves, insufficient preparation and for similar reasons.
No previous knowledge is required.
