General rules
Requirements: Period for lectures, seminars and practical work: Participation in all 7 laboratory exercises and successful fulfillment. All laboratory exercises begin with a 15-minute test for checking successful preparation. A minimum of satisfactory level is expected. Two 60-minute mid-terms have to be fulfilled on a minimum of satisfactory level. Examination period: no requirement. Additional possibilities: If failed, the 15-minute test can only be retaken with the complete laboratory exercise. No more than 2 laboratory exercises can be retaken during the semester.   Retaking the mid-terms for any reason (fail, intention to improve) is only possible one time. Re-retake is only allowed if the previous mid-terms are generally unsuccessful (less than one-third could pass).

Detailed description
IMSc program: For the lab practices in the subject, students participating in the programme are placed in separate groups. For the students participating in the programme, some lab practices will be supervised by the most experienced colleague in the field (who is/has been doing research in the field), who will introduce the students to the current research topics and recent results in the field, in addition to the basic laboratory material. IMSc points: IMSc scoring is based on the 2 extra tasks given in the summative assessment for the subject. The percentage of extra tasks in the summative assessment is 25%. Extra IMSc points can be obtained above a 75% pass mark in the summative assessments. The maximum IMSc score for the subject is 20 (max. IMSc points are also available to students not participating in the programme.
