LEARNING OUTCOMES (LOs)
After successfully completing this course, students will be able:
In addition, this course fosters the following skills:
As with all PI courses, attendance is a requirement to pass EBC2. As a special concession, you may miss up to three (3) meetings of your LV. However, if you miss a fourth, you will no longer be able to pass the course. This condition applies whatever the reasons for your absences may have been.
Classes are of a workshop nature and involve a wide range of activities based on the course literature and designed to develop the requisite skills and knowledge.
These will include some or all of the following:
Some activities will take the form of pair or small-group work.
If you satisfy the attendance requirement above (see 'Regelung zur Anwesenheit'), your final score will be made up of the following three elements (details are given below):
In general, no support materials (Hilfsmittel) are allowed in either of the two tests. Exceptionally, if you are neither a German nor an English native speaker, you may use a paper-based bilingual dictionary of German and your mother tongue (but NOT any form of electronic translation device, nor any specialist business or economic dictionary).
If you do not take the MST or submit the Home Exercise, and you attend no classes after Unit 5, you will receive no grade, and you will not lose an 'Antritt'. Otherwise your grade will be based on your final score, as follows:
As EBC2 is a PI class, if you receive a grade 5 you will have to re-take it in a later semester in full (i.e., including class attendance and all 3 assessment elements).
If you wish to take this course you must register for an individual class (LV) using the LPIS system; individual EBC2 instructors are NOT involved in registration and will NOT reply to mails on the subject.
Please note that it is generally NOT true that all EBC2 places are taken as soon as registration starts; once ALL available places have been taken, more will be opened gradually, up to the limits set by room size and pedagogical considerations. Registration is effected on a first-come, first-served basis. Any unfilled slots will be filled from waiting lists in accordance with study progress and in cooperation with the Vizerektorat für Lehre und Studierende.
For exact dates and times of classes, please see the WU's Directory of Classes (Vorlesungsverzeichnis / VVZ). Having registered for a class you must attend it and no other throughout the semester.
You do not need to register separately for the Final Test (PI).
In order to take EBC2 you must have:
