Hinweise
The project modules require physical presence. In case of inability to attend (due to illness or other reasons) the lecturer must be notified promptly.
To earn course credits, students must not exceed a 10% absence, equivalent to missing three days in a six-week block module. In case of a longer absence there might be the possibility to compensate for missed days by additional tasks.
