Additional information on mode of examinationStudents are expected to actively contribute to the lectures if there are sufficiently few participants, 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.
