The main emphasis of the teaching takes place through supervision. A few lectures are given (see academic content). Hours: Lectures (5 hours), Bachelor Thesis Seminar (6 hours), Independent project work, including assignment writing (ca. 400 hours/student).

- Mandatory work requirements
Further on evaluation
The course has 3 mandatory work requirements: Project plan, Bachelor thesis seminar, and a poster presenting the thesis, all of which must be passed. The basis for assessment is a written bachelor thesis, and an oral presentation/examination. The written thesis is the basis for grading, but the oral presentation/examination may adjust the final grade. In case of documented significant mismatch between the individual students' contribution, the grade can be differentiated between the group members. New/postponed exam after further agreement.
