Examination-immanent course. This course consists of two components - an exercise component and a lecture component. The overall grade results from the addition of the points of the exercise component and the points of the lecture component (weighting 50:50). Details in the TUWEL course.

As part of the exercise component, a mandatory individual task on current legal issues must be solved via TUWEL (partial performance 1); a processing period of 14 days is available for this (this means longer-term fulfillment - therefore no repeatability of partial performance 1).

The lecture component is concluded with a compulsory, written test at the end of the regular lecture period (partial performance 2). This lecture examination is a repeatable partial performance - a repeat test takes place in the following lecture-free period (in the winter semester: during the semester break).
