Final exam
Details Written examination, oral examination only in individual cases, with the following elements:
- Multiple choice and assignment questions to query fundamental concepts, relationships and analogies
- Free-text answers to query further knowledge and the basic understanding of physical relationships
- Preparation of sketches to test further understanding
- Application-oriented text tasks, whose solutions make it necessary to analyze and reduce the physical problems, select a suitable model and apply it mathematically.
Minimum standard 50 % of the questions and tasks correctly solved
Exam Type EN Klausur
