Information

Examination topics

The exam comprises only the compulsory literature and individual answers to the literature guiding questions. However, it is recommended that you attend the units regularly or listen to the recordings to ensure an application-oriented understanding of the theories.

Assessment and permitted materials

The performance assessment is conducted online and is designed as an open-book format. It consists of two parts: The guiding literature questions constitute a literature questionnaire that is to be completed individually and submitted for the online examination, which is a prerequisite for successful participation in the examination. The second part of the performance assessment is a two-hour, practice-oriented take-home exam. In it, an example relevant to animal ethics is analysed on the basis of aspects of the theories covered in three questions on the topics of the question catalogue. In both parts, material and additional sources may be used, but must be cited according to scientific standards.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The completion of the literature questionnaire serves as an independent preparation for the examination and is therefore not assessed in terms of content, but only checked to see whether it is an individually filled out (via the plagiarism check software Turnitin). The practice-oriented part of the exam checks whether an independent and confident handling of the different approaches has been acquired. In the course of the units, there will be repeated application tasks and examples to facilitate the approach to the practice-oriented examination format.

The exam will be evaluated with the following scale: 0 – 20 = 5, 21 – 24 = 4, 25 – 29 = 3, 30 – 34 = 2, 35 – 40 = 1
