Decision of April 23rd, 2020

For the summer semester 2020, the conversion of written examinations into alternative examinations, such as oral examinations or assignments, is approved.

 

Decision of April 21st, 2020

The Rectorate has made uniform arrangements for the university for the submission deadlines of assignments and theses so that students are not disadvantaged because the library, computer pools and laboratories are closed due to the Corona crisis and communication with supervisors is limited.

The examination board of the Master Management and Organisation Studies therefore confirms the following regulations of the rectorate in particular:

The deadlines for submitting assignments and theses will be automatically extended: The period from March 11th, 2020 inclusive until one week after the resumption of regular attendance, i.e. the opening of the library, computer rooms and laboratories for students, will be excluded from the counting of the deadlines for assignments and theses.

This means, for example, that if the regular stand-by operation begins on May 4th, the deadlines for all work registered before March 11th are automatically extended by 61 days (21 in March, 30 in April, 10 in May). The deadlines of all work registered from March 11th and before the end of stand-by operation will only be counted from May 11th.
In addition, the one-week withdrawal period has been suspended until the resumption of regular teaching. Students can now withdraw at any time before the start of the examination without giving reasons.
 

Decision of December 7th and 8th, 2018:

The examination board has made a general decision that the examination performance„Social Entrepreneurship“ and "Entrepreneurship II" (Jun.-Prof. Dr. Mario Geißler) in module 3, Functional Management, can generally be recognised without requiring an application on the part of the student. However, the prerequisite is that the course is successfully completed with a grade and 3 credits.

 

Decision of May 8th, 2017: 

Amendment/precision of the decision of November 5th, 2013 in the third paragraph:

“The grading and submission of assignments in the seminars of modules 2, 4, 5 and 8 is regulated as follows:

• If the lecture has been given but the written paper has not been handed in (on time), the entire performance in the seminar has not been achieved. The seminar must be repeated in the following winter semester.
• If both the oral and written performance are completed, but one performance is graded with 5.0, an overall grade is calculated. If this is 4.0 or less, the seminar is considered to have been passed.
• Since the performance in the seminar is a creditable course achievement (ASL), students may repeat it as often as they wish until they achieve a grade with which they are satisfied. In the case of a written paper graded 5.0, we offer the option of only writing the written paper on a new topic in the follow-up seminar; the presentation grade remains the old one.
• The weighting of the partial performances: 1/3 lecture and 2/3 the written work.“
