Assessment and permitted materials
All assignments must be completed for a positive assessment.- Active participation

----
Note of the SPL Sociology:
Completing all partial performances is a prerequisite for a positive assessment unless explicitly stated otherwise.
All students who have received a course place are to be assessed unless they have deregistered in good time or immediately after the obstacle has ceased. They can credibly show an important reason for not deregistering.
If such a reason exists (e.g. a more prolonged illness), the student can be deregistered from the course even after the deadline has expired.
The head of the course decides on the existence of an important reason. The application for deregistration must be submitted immediately. If a partial performance has been cheated, i.e. cheated on an examination or a test, plagiarised in a written paper or forged signatures on attendance lists, the entire course will be assessed as "not assessed" and recorded accordingly.
These and other regulations can be found in the study regulations section: https://satzung.univie.ac.at/studienrecht/.If you have already failed an assessment-immanent course three times and want to register for a fourth attempt, please contact the Sociology Student Services Office (cf. for additional information "Third repetition for assessment-immanent courses" https://soziologie.univie.ac.at/info/pruefungen/#c56313).Plagiarism software (Turnitin in Moodle) may be used during the assessment.
