Study guidance


Teaching Methods
Theory : the seminars students will be taught by means of lectures.
Small theoretical examples in order to clarify the subject matters will be made at the end of each chapter.
Seminars : students will be encouraged to carry out several individual case studies that will be discussed with teachers afterwards.

Assessment
Theory (oral / written examination) Oral examination, partially at the blackboard, partially with a written preparation. Open questions wich cover the complete course will be drawn by the students. Exercises (seminars permanent evaluation). Seminars are adjudged by means of permanent evaluation and reports.

However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items), he proves that his skill for certain subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus. Of course the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less. For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn’t pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
