For this course we expect students to participate in the first introductory unit as it is a prerequisite for the subsequent lectures and students who miss the first lecture will not be able to continue the course. There is no opportunity to catch up or redo the first unit. As the type of this class is ‘PI’ students are expected to be present for 90% of the total time. When students miss to achieve an attendance rate of 90%, fail to contribute to the exercises or receive a negative grade for the exercises there will be one possibility for a colloquium for each student during the lecture times. In this colloquium the student will have the opportunity to present a missed exercise and can compensate for absences or negative grades In general a reasonable cause for missed attendance lower than 90% has to be provided and this reason has to be communicated to the lecturers. Unexcused missed lectures after already having missed 10% will not be eligible for a colloquium.
- In-class Assignments: 35%
- Case presentation: 20% (group work done by 3-4 students)
