Final exam
| Details | Students shall prove that they can 1.) explain and apply fundamental terms, concepts, and techniques, 2.) identify and assess the impact of strategic decisions in the implementation and execution of system software and 3.) apply programming and more abstract concepts to solve application problems in the field of concurrent and distributed programming. Typical types of assignments are 1.) multiple choice questions, fill-in-the-blank texts, assessment of statements, 2.) play through typical scenarios under certain assumptions about the system software and evaluate the findings and 3.) write program code or develop a solution in a more abstract form to solve given problems of limited size. |

| Details | Students work in small teams. Each team completes multiple "rounds" with assigned appointments in the lab. In each round, programming assigments are solved. For the preparation of a laboratory appointment a "preparation sheet" has to be solved. The acquired knowledge will be tested at the beginning of the appointment (short written entrance test, interview with the supervisor). In case of failure, a follow-up appointment must be taken; in case of multiple failures, the student will be excluded from the lab. In case of success, a "laboratory work sheet" with further tasks will be worked on under supervision (and, if necessary, with assistance). |
| Minimum standard | Successful participation in all laboratory appointments, i.e. in particular independent solution (or with some assistance if necessary) of the programming assignments. |
