Exams

We will have two written exams and an optional supplementary exam. You will need at least 50% of the total points of all exercise sheets in order to be allowed to participate in the final and supplementary exams.

The exams will take place on the following dates:

Midterm exam: 15.12.2004, 9:00 (s.t.)-11:00,
lecture rooms I and II, building 27.2

Final exam: 16.02.2005, 9:00 (s.t.)-11:00,
lecture rooms I and II, building 27.2.

Supplementary exam: 15.04.2005, 14:00 (s.t.)-16:00,
HS 3, building 45.

Supplementary exam
If you were admitted to participate in the final exam you are also allowed to take the supplementary. However, if you want to participate you must register until Friday, March 18.

You must bring the following items with you: Student card; passport or identity card; pen, stylus or pencil.

The exam will be a written exam and “open book”: You are allowed to bring with you any written material. Loose sheets must be marked by the owner’s name (As a rule of thumb, if you have never used a certain book for the tutorials, then it is unlikely to be useful to you during the exam.)

Electronic devices such as mobile phones, computers, PDAs, calculators, are not permitted.

Certificates

Certificates for the lecture can be collected from our secretary

Brigitta Hansen, room 602, building 46.1 (MPI).

Grading
The total grade for the lecture is the weighted average of all grades:

1. If one takes part only in the midterm and final exam:
Midterm exam:
50%
Final exam:
50%

2. If one takes part in the midterm, final and supplementary exam:
Midterm exam:
25%

Final exam:
25%

Supplementary exam:
50%

For passing, the weighted average must be better than 4.1. If you do not take part in the midterm or final exam without excuse you fail the corresponding exam with grade 5.0.

There is one exceptions to the above rules. If the weighted average is worse than 4.1, but you scored 4.0 or better in the supplementary exam, you pass the lecture with grade 4.0.
