Final exam
Details
Written exam:
Students shall prove that they can 1.) explain and apply fundamental terms, 2.) apply programming concepts to solve application problems in the field of mobile device programming and 3.) assess the correctness of statements and program code. Typical types of assignments are 1.) multiple choice questions, fill-in-the-blank texts, assessment of statements, 2.) write program code to solve given problems of limited size and 3.) finding errors in texts and program code.
Minimum standard
At least 50% of the total number of points.

Separate exam
Exam Type
working on practical scenarion (e.g. in a lab)
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.
