Requirements for the Oral Exam and the 'Schein'

All students are required to participate in the exercise classes. Every week, there will be an assignment sheet that will be handed out one week in advance. This sheet has to be prepared by every student and will be discussed in class. There are two different types of assignments: questions of understanding and programming assignments. The programming assignments can be solved in small groups of up to three students and must be sent in before the respective class. Prerequisites for an oral exam and a 'Schein' is fulfillment of the following criteria:

  • Gaining at least 1/2 of all programming points
  • Solving at least 2/3 of all questions of understanding
  • Presenting at least 2 solutions in class.

The exam will be oral. For the 'Schein', there will be also an oral colloquium of about 10 minutes.
