Modules
The form “V/Ü/P” is typically used at the faculty of computer science – e.g. in your study plan – to indicate to what extent (how many semester hours per week – SWS) a course or module contains which teaching or learning format.
In the sample case, the first number corresponds to the number of SWS in lectures. The second number indicates the number of exercises and the third is the number of practical courses.
Thus, “2/2/0” means that for a course or module 2 hours of lectures, 2 hours of exercises and no practical training are offered per week.
Attention! Other faculties often code this information in more detail. Economists, for example, have tables with information in the form "V/Ü/S/Pj/Pk/T/K/EK". These are coded as follows: V - lecture, Ü - exercise, S - seminar, Pj - project, Pk - practical training, T - tutorial, K - colloquium and EK - introductory course.
In order to be admitted to the maths exam at the end of february, you must have passed the preliminary examinations (the homework to be handed in). If you are sure that you have passed these preliminary tests, but the maths exam enrolment does not appear in jExam and the preliminary tests are not listed in jExam, please contact your maths tutor.
If your grade was 2.0 or better in the first maths exam, you can approach the second maths exam a little more calmly, as the module has already been passed.
For Bachelor students, the introductory internship consists of the RoboLab and is a graded compulsory module of the first semester. For diploma students, the module is called introductory and programming practical course and consists of the RoboLab and a strategy game practical course. It is also a graded compulsory module of the first semester.
RoboLab: There are two courses in the RoboLab. The division into the RoboLab rounds is alphabetical: A-Kem: 1st round, Ken-Z: 2nd round. It is not possible to switch between the RoboLab rounds. The RoboLab groups are randomly selected, wishes are not possible.
Programming internship: The Programming internship is offered only for diploma students. Again, there are two courses, which are held at different times (Ken-Z in the 1st round, A-Kem in the 2nd round).
Requirements defined in the module descriptions are recommendations in terms of content, but no formal prerequisite.If the module descriptions refer to the content of other modules, this indicates that it is advantageous for the understanding of the selected module to have heard another module in advance or to have familiarised oneself with its content.The prerequisites are not formally checked at the beginning of the selected module. Concrete formal subject requirements are defined in §26 of the examination regulations.
The credit points in a module are earned according to the all-or-nothing principle. If the module examination is passed, the credit points are credited to you; if it is not passed, the credit points are not credited to you. The module grade has no influence on the number of credit points.
Absolutely not. You can only take one and the same course once during your studies. The possibility to attend a course in different modules is only intended to increase the flexibility of your studies. It is therefore highly advisable to draw up an individual study plan that also takes these things into account. Your academic advisor will be happy to help you with this.
First of all, only courses of the catalogue of teaching offers published on the website can be credited. This catalogue is decided by the faculty council and is therefore binding.
In the case of modules which are made up of several performances (e.g. the in-depth modules in the Bachelor's programmes INF-B-510 ... INF-B-540), it is possible to submit an application of recognition to the respective examination board for the crediting of a module's examination credits (Attention! This application can, but does not necessarily have to be granted!)
However, this procedure is not applicable to modules whose examination performance corresponds to a complex examination (e.g. the basic and advanced modules in the diploma main study or in the Master's programmes).
In both cases it is recommendable to report the courses for the desired module to the lecturer, the person responsible for the module and the course manager and be confirmed by the faculty council.
AQUA means “general qualification” and is part of all our modularised degree programmes. The aim is to acquire knowledge in key competences across all subjects as well as language skills. Although AQUA is "hidden" in the individual study programmes in different modules, it is compulsory everywhere. In contrast to the old, expiring diploma programmes with compulsory general competence, only the courses listed in the catalogue of teaching offers for the respective module may be included in the AQUA area.
Existing language certificates (e.g. English C1) can be recognized for AQUA, as long as they have not already been used in another module. For example: the diploma programme computer science (PO2010) offers two AQUA modules: INF-D-520 and INF-D-940, whereas the existing language certificate may be brought into either INF-D-520 or INF-D-940.
Please contact your academic advisor!
The aim of training in minor subjects (compulsory modules for diploma students) or application subjects (optional compulsory modules for master students) is to look beyond the field of computer science and to work transdisciplinarily. That means becoming fimiliar with the foundations, methodology, basic principles as well as the technical language and culture of a non-informatics subject. In particular, these modules should qualify students for work in interdisciplinary projects and teams.
Enrolment in a minor or application subject: For application and minor subjects, you must enrol before the new semester via jExam. Therefore inform yourself about the courses offered via the websites of minor subjects and application subjects and decide on one of the subjects. The registration room for the minor subjects and application subjects is announced on the above-mentioned websites at the beginning of the examination period of the previous semester. Please note that individual subjects are in great demand and that the limit of the maximum number of participants can therefore be reached quite quickly!
Enrolment for the courses / examinations: Even though the coordination of minor or application subjects is done by the faculty of computer science, the actual training takes place in the faculties that offer the teaching of the subjects. Accordingly, you should contact the respective faculties/departments to find out which steps you need to take for enrolment, etc. In addition, it is advisable to familiarise yourself with the details of the descriptions of the minor subjects or the application subjects (these are linked on the respective websites mentioned).
The examination is registered with the secretary's office of the chosen examiner using the form (Registration and proof of module examination of module INF-D-910 "Research Line"). There you will be told the name of the examiner.
For the actual examination of the module INF-D-910 “Research Line” it is advisable to agree on the contents of the examination with the examiner beforehand.
The examination itself is an oral examination of 20 minutes and is marked "passed" or "failed", i.e. you will not be awarded a mark.
Yes, it is possible. Please consider that the failed attempt will remain in the originally selected module (you will only have two more attempts before you finally fail the module and are exmatriculated). If you change the module completely, you will have 3 attempts again.
Since the course offerings are decided upon by the faculty council each semester, the conditions of of the corresponding semester also apply. Therefore, you can still submit the course without any problems if the conditions under which you took the exam correspond to those of your study regulations or the module description.
For example, graded certificates could be obtained from Career Service until the summer semester 2013. The services offered by Career Service are ideally suited for the modules of the General Qualification. However, since "our" programmes of study require graded examinations in these modules, Career Service offers have no longer been available since the winter semester.
