Core Course Work (“normal points”):
To pass the course, at least 44% of the possible normal 47 points for the theoretical part must be reached.
To pass the course, at least 44% of the possible normal 47 points for the practical part must be reached.
To pass the course, at least 50% of the overall normal 100 points must be reached. These 100 points also include points that can be earned by active participation in a hands-on task (5 points) and giving feedback (1 point).

Additional Course Work (“bonus points”):
In addition to the Core Course Work, 4 bonus points will be awarded that can be earned by active participation in additional tasks offered during the semester. The “bonus points” for these additional tasks are only counted (to improve your grade) once you have passed all criteria for the Core Course Work (i.e., the criteria under Core Course Work need to be passed solely with the points awarded for the Core Course Work).

The maximum number of total points is 100 points. If the course is passed, the grade is determined from the total achieved points as follows:

- >= 89 total points: Sehr Gut (1)
- >= 76 total points: Gut (2)
- >= 63 total points: Befriedigend (3)
- >= 50 total points: Genügend (4)
------------------------------------------
not passed: Nicht Genügend (5)
