• Results of 2nd exam are online

General Information

SWS: 3+2 ECTS: 6
Lecturers: Alexander Bockmayr, Knut Reinert
Exercises: Annika Röhl
Language: English

Requirements for Aktive Teilnahme

You have to hand in 75% of the programming exercises. (You have to show reasonable programms and can explain them).
And you have to hand in solutions for the theoretical part. (It is sufficient to write something down, which shows you thought about the exercises and tried to solve it. You do not have to have an exact solution).
In addition, you need to reach a minimum of 50% of all points in both reviews.
