Exam

The exam will be held on-site at TUM. There will also be a retake exam (also on-site).
We will announce the exam dates as soon as we know them.

Bonus System

There will be 3 programming-based bonus projects throughout the semester. Completing all 3 projects earns you a grade bonus of 0.3 on your final exam grade. Note that the grade bonus can only be applied to successfully-passed exams (grade ≤ 4.0) and cannot improve a grade of 1.0.

Details of the bonus projects will be published on moodle.

The programming tasks will be done in C++. Prior C++ knowledge is required, but you can also learn it yourself during the semester:
