Accompanying material
electronic laboratory exercises
Separate exam
Exam Type
working on practical scenarion (e.g. in a lab)
Details
Development of different 3D applications with tasks to the topics of the lecture. During the laboratory the students work on the tasks with the help of the lecturer. Afterwards the independent completion takes place in self-study.
Minimum standard
More than 80% of all exercises submitted. A task is deemed to have been completed if it has been solved predominantly and independently.
