Grading Policy for SE "Master Seminar I"

WS 2022/23

According to the Austrian Universities Act 2002, students have the right
to be examined according to an alternative method if they suffer from a permanent disability which makes it impossible for them to take an examination in the prescribed manner and the other method does not limit the content and standards of the examination.
Hence, if you feel that the requirements outlined below to pass "Master Seminar I" cannot be met by you due to such a disability then, please, get in touch with the University's Disability&Diversity Office as soon as possible. Please understand that directives of the Rectorate prevent me from consenting to any bilateral agreements if the Disability&Diversity Office had not been involved! However, I kindly ask you to also talk to me directly since it is so much easier for me to propose meaningful alternatives if I have a clear picture of your disability.
This remark applies mutatis mutandis to longer illnesses. As far as organizationally possible, I will try to come to a special arrangement with you if you would end up being sick for an extended period of time. But, once again, please inform me as soon as possible.
During this seminar you will have to make a presentation at the end of the semester and do a LaTeX project, which is to be handed in by the end of February.
All dates stated in the sequel are fixed and, thus, must be followed exactly; no deadline will be extended retrospectively.
Please save you and me from inconvenience and extra effort by adhering strictly to these guidelines. If you should still have questions about the grading guidelines, despite my comments in the seminar and these extensive guidelines, then, please, contact me in time. Thank you!
Your first task is to prepare a presentation and give a talk. Please pay attention to the presentation guidelines.
Your second task is to prepare a LaTeX-based project. Please pay attention to the project guidelines.
Up to 50 points each can be achieved for the presentation and the project.
The (positive) grades result from a uniform division of the point interval [50,100] into four sub-intervals. In particular, a total of at least 50 points has to be achieved in order to obtain a positive grade (GEN4).
This implies that it will very tough for you to achieve a passing grade if you'd decide to do only either the presentation or the project. (Namely only if the completed part was completed absolutely perfectly and 100% flawlessly.)
Attention: This course is graded in continuous assessment mode, i.e., the course is part of the exam! According to applicable study law this means, in particular,
- that attendance is mandatory throughout the entire duration of this course.
- that a grade will be assigned even if you should decide to drop the course, with the grading being done relative to your accomplishments achieved up to the time when you dropped the course. This rule does not apply if you should opt out of the course prior to the third unit of this course. Please note that dropping the course results virtually always in the non-passing grade NGD5.
- that an improvement of the obtained grade is no longer possible after I entered the grade in PLUSonline.
- that the entire course must be repeated in a later semester if you should have failed it!
