Vortrag

Very nice, actually. I really enjoyed listening to all lecturers. They were all knowledgeable and they gave a nice presentation without reading the text off their slides. Instead, they worked with many examples. Generally, it seems that the focus was put on understanding the concepts instead of simply learning by heart, which is much appreciated.

Prüfung, Benotung

TUWEL Quiz with 15 Multiple-Choice questions and one drag-and-drop question where cards have to be arranged in the correct order.

You needed to reach 11 out of 16 points to pass. You could not skip between questions. You had 24 minutes to finish the test.

Dauer der Zeugnisausstellung

You get the results immediately after handing in the test

Zeitaufwand

About as much as stated, maybe even less. I watched the recordings once, learned for about a week for the exam, and passed.
