Course Evaluation Winter Term 2023

Students are allowed to use the entire course material and all exercise notes. The examination is organized as an online examination. The Inverted Classroom Teaching Method was applied in the winter term 2023 for the first time.

Total numbers in tables and presence maps shown below might slightly differ and appear inconsistent because of "unknown" students, i.e. students not visiting courses but attending examinations (or vice versa).



1. Digital Engineering - Summary

The minimum rate of points to pass the examination is 45%, i.e. 27 out of 60 points.

Grades greater than 4 do not pass the examination.

Simulated Pass Rate (ALL courses)

The simulation of the examination pass rate is performed by variations of the minimum rate to pass. The curves are a footprint of the collective knowledge of a course. This makes examination results and the collective students knowledge comparable over semesters. The course content is always the same while the Inverted Classroom teaching method was applied the first time during winter term 2023.

Example (green line): if 50% is the minimum rate of points to pass, 71% would have passed in the summer term 2022 (last corona semester).

Comparison (black line): with the same rate of points to pass, only 35% would have passed in the summer term 2023.

WS'23 - Print Savings due to Online-Examinations - 1760 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 640 sheets of paper (i.e. 36,4%). 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.
