Conditions for certification:
- UPDATE! This regulation replaces the previous one! There will be n=5 biweekly assignments. Students need to answer questions and write short essays about topics covered in the lecture and in assigned research papers. There are three possible grades: excellent, pass, failed. Students need to get a “pass” grade on at least n-1 assignments or n-3 “pass” and one “excellent” grade.
- There will be three 45-minutes tests on different parts of the lecture. Students need to pass at least two out of the three tests. Tests will cover the content of the lecture and of the assigned research papers.
- Students need to present at least once during the lecture on the content of an assigned research paper (20 min. presentation and 10 min. discussion).
Schein/Certification:
An averaged score will be computed from the best two results of the three tests and the graded presentation. This yields the grade of certification (“Schein”). There will be no final exam.
