Grades Overview - Electrical Engineering (2015 - today)

The elementary course in Electrical Engineering (Elektrotechnik 1) is an ungraded course at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. Examination scores are 'passed' or 'not passed' so that no grades overviews exist.


Environmental Care - Print Savings due to Online-Examinations - 7180 Sheets.

Calculation: 10 sheets per examination (double-sided color prints for German and English versions) in average times registered attendees plus 10 prints for unregistered attendees. Unregistered attendees are allowed to attend the examination as per instruction of the examining board of the faculty. It will be decided later by the examination offices of the faculty, if the attendance was permitted.

Note: Students are registered for examinations by the University automatically and without self-action. The low attendance rates at examinations are the reason for lots of wasted prints. The University sticks to this practice despite several indications with the reasoning that students forget regularly to enroll for examinations. I therefore decided after the Corona pandemic to offer Online-Courses and Online-Examinations to eliminate this waste.

The waste savings due to prints for registered but non-attending students was 2960 sheets of paper (i.e. 41,2%). This amount would have been printed and dumped. Students normally (some rare exceptions do exist) do not collect these prints for training purpose as far as I can confirm.
