Oral examination The course ends with an oral exam taken during the exam period. You have three attempts for the exam. Do not sign up for the exam on the latest date so that you then miss the opportunity to retake the exam in case you fail your first attempt. In the exam, students choose one question from the topics covered during the semester and discuss it with the teacher for about 20 min. You need to explain the theory, use correct terminology, and state the implications in practice. Those who intend to take the state exams in June will have priority for the exam dates. Dates will not be announced during August. Therefore, schedule your time and preparation well.
