1. There will be n=6 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.
2. A written final exam of 120 min. will be offered at the end of the semester.
3. 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).

An averaged score will be computed from the mark of the final exam (counts 2/3) and the graded presentation (counts 1/3). This yields the grade of certification (“Schein”).
