Method of verifying learning outcomes and course completion requirements

Full-time students:

- Obtain at least 60% of the total possible points from all KvIS tests that will be part of the lectures. Participation in KvIS is possible until midnight after the lecture via a link in the interactive syllabus in IS.

- If this criterion is not met, it is possible to submit a final essay of 5 standard pages on a chosen topic (choice of approx. 25 topics across the areas lectured at the end of the semester).

Combined study students:

- Participation is possible both in person and hybrid. (If you want to collect points from KvIS as a full-time student, this is certainly possible.)

- At the end of the semester, submission of a final essay of 5 standard pages on a chosen topic (choice of approx. 25 topics across the areas lectured at the end of the semester).
