Modul

The assessment is carried out as partial exams (according to Section 4(2), 1 and 3 of the examination regulation) of the individual courses of this module.

The examinations are offered every semester. Re-examinations are offered at every ordinary examination date. For a successful module assessment both partial exams have to be passed.

• Foundations of Informatics I: Written exam in the first week of the recess period (60 min)
• Foundations of Informatics II: Written exam in the first week of the recess period (90 min). It is possible to gain 0,3-0.4 additional grading points for a passed exam by successful completion of a bonus exam.

When both partial exams are passed, the overall grade of the module is the average of the grades for each course weighted by the credit points and truncated after the first decimal.

The student

• knows the main principles, methods and systems of computer science,
• can use this knowledge for applications in advanced computer science courses and other areas for situation-adequate problem solving,
• is capable of finding strategic and creative responses in the search for solutions to well defined, concrete, and abstract problems.

The student can deepen the learned concepts, methods, and systems of computer science in advanced computer science lectures.

None

This module conveys knowledge about modeling, logic, algorithms, sorting and searching algorithms, complexity theory, problem specifications, and data structures. From the field of theoretical computer science, formal models of automata, languages and algorithms are presented and applied to the architecture of computer systems.

It is strongly recommended to attend the courses of the core program in the following sequence: Introduction to Programming with Java, Foundations of Informatics I, Foundations of Informatics II

The total workload for this module is approximately 300 hours.
