- Exams will be run as online or on-site examinations depending on the course.
- Students who cannot take on-site exams (e.g. due to a stay abroad) or online exams (e.g. due to bad internet connection) will be offered catch-up examinations. Depending on the circumstances, we will try to find an individual exam form that is suitable for every student to succeed.
Yes, the personal contact between lecturers and students has always been and remains an essential part of studying at the Department of Physics. Please feel free to ask questions and initiate discussions during online modules and courses. You can also have an individual online conversation with a tutor – just ask the person for an appointment directly via e-mail.
We recommend students to arrange regular online meetings with fellow students and continue working in groups online, e.g. using Webex technology, which is also available to students. Studying and working in groups is more productive than learning alone.
