- Exam duration and scope
The written assignment (APS) comprises 8-12 pages. It consists of four tasks. At least three tasks must be completed. Students are free to complete all four tasks; in that case, the three best results will be included in the overall grade.
- Knowledge Broadening
Students can define and present simulations on basic materials.
- Knowledge deepening
Students can prepare specific statements from data.
- Knowledge Understanding
Students can question statements from data.
- Application and Transfer
Students can reflect on simulations.
