Written exam 90 min.

[updated 06.07.2021]
Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

DFBI-343 (P610-0196) Computer Science and Web Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2018 , semester 6, optional course
KI370 (P200-0006) Computer Science and Communication Systems, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2014 , semester 3, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 120 hours (equivalent to 4 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 75 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
KI440 Computer architecture
KI460 Microprocessor Systems
KI608 Semiconductor Technology and Production
KI653 Practical Circuit Design
KI698 Measurements and Simulations in Communications Engineering
