| Performance assessment information (valid until the course unit is held again) | |
Performance assessment as a semester course | |
| ECTS credits | 3 credits |
| Examiners | D. Helbing, N. Antulov-Fantulin |

| Additional information on mode of examination | Students are expected to actively contribute to the lectures if there are sufficiently few participants to , each one will have to give a 10 minute presentation on a scientific paper selected together with the lecturer. These papers are typically about mathematical derivations and models related to the lecture. The quality of the presentation would be considered 50% in the final grading. In any case there is a 90 minute written exam, which typically takes place in the last lecture of the course. To pass the exam, at least 40% of the maximum number of points will have to be reached. |
