Examination modalities

The plan is to have 4 talks in total during this study year 2020/21.

Students will be graded provided that the following requirements are fulfilled:

  • Attendance to at least 3 talks (to be proven).
  • Submission of assignment.

Preferably, students attend 4 talks, choose 3 of those for their report and give a summary of at least 2 pages for each.
For students who can only attend 3 talks this summary must comprise at least 3 pages for each talk.

Talks will be offered both in winter term 2020/21 and summer term 2021, and any combination of all those may be chosen (but the course will definitely end after the summer term, a further combination with talks from the winter term 21/22 will not be possible).
