Teaching methods

The automation engineering entities is inherently problem-oriented and therefore it is also used as a learning method. Concretely, it is done through contact hours, returnable exercises and independent work.

Exam dates and retake possibilities

The near exam is at the time announced in Moodle and two retakes.

Alternative completion methods

Discuss on a case-by-case basis.

Student workload

Lectures 16 h, Tutorial lessons 4 h, independent work 34 h, a total of 54 hours of learning work.

Further information for students

Self-assessment takes place mainly through learning tasks. The assessment decision is based 100% on the competence shown in the exam.
