Teacher's information

In case the student enrols in the course during his/her trip abroad, the same conditions apply. It is recommended to contact the supervisor at the beginning of the semester to agree on the course of completion.
Any copying, keeping a record of tests or carrying the tests out, using forbidden aids including any communication devices or any other breach of objectivity of the exam is regarded as a failure to meet the obligations of the subject and as a serious breach of study regulations. As a consequence, the teacher grades the student with "F" and the dean is allowed to initiate a disciplinary action, which might lead to the termination of the studies.
