Additional information on mode of examinationThe course grade will be based on four multiple choice quizzes on law (25%) during class time and a written final exam on the law and tech aspects of the course (75%) as well as on class participation. Details of the exams will be discussed at the first lecture.

Class participation will be used to adjust the final grade up by an amount between 0.0 and 0.5 (that is, participation cannot bring your grade down). Student participation is an essential part of maintaining a lively and interesting conversation, and the possibility to improve one’s grade via participation reflects this.
