The course is concluded with an examination. In order to pass the exam, the student must obtain credit and pass the exam test (min. 50%). The student will demonstrate theoretical knowledge through the exam test. Successful completion is considered to be the achievement of at least 50% of the points according to the ECTS scale. In order to receive credit, the student must obtain at least 50% of the points that can be earned during the semester. Individual points can be earned for individual assignments given in practicals (e.g. active participation, project, field research, practical lectures). The main element expected to receive credit is the creation of a team project.

Attendance at lectures is not required. Attendance at tutorials is controlled by personal attendance directly by the lecturer. Sub-assigned work (seminar, team, individual) will be checked according to the given criteria. Make-up for missed and properly excused absences will be in the form of a new make-up assignment and its evaluation according to the criteria for awarding credit.
