As a rule, two module examinations must be taken in each of the six modules (only one module examination in inm760). Active participation by students is required for the successful completion of the modules or the individual components of the modules.

Active participation may include:

• Regular attendance
• Participation in classes
• Preparation and follow-up work on the course material (e.g. minutes, assignments, preparation/reading of texts)
• Delivering talks, short presentations, keynote presentations, brief presentations, etc.
  

The applicable criteria for active participation are determined at the start of the module’s teaching sessions in consultation with the students and lecturers. Lecturers decide whether the criteria for active participation have been met, in consultation with the module coordinators where necessary.
How active participation is documented (cumulative course result sheet, module result sheet, etc.) must be agreed with the lecturers!

In the module inm710 ‘Artistic and Technical Media Competence’, students are required to produce two artistic and technical presentations, each accompanied by a written explanation (max. 10 pages). Such a scholarly-artistic project consists of two parts: the presentation of one or more artistic works in one or more media (for example, an exhibition, installation, audio-slide show or performance) and a written paper.

The modules INM720 and INM730 Media Theory, in the various specialisations (visual/audiovisual media), are concluded with two examinations, one of which is a compulsory written seminar paper of a maximum of 15 pages! The second assessment may be taken either as a presentation (max. 45 mins) with a written report (max. 10 pages), as a written exam (max. 90 mins), as a portfolio (3–5 individual pieces of work) or as an oral examination (15–20 minutes).

In the module inm750 Media Economics/Media Law, the type of examination consists of a presentation followed by a written paper, which is compulsory. As a second assessment, students may choose to submit a seminar paper (max. 15 pages), or opt for an oral examination (max. 20 mins), a portfolio (3–5 individual pieces of work) or a written examination (max. 90 mins).

The module inm760 Media Experiments and Communication is concluded with a scholarly and artistic project, which consists of a project presentation and a written report.

The type of examination for the area of specialisation varies depending on the composition of the modules. Arrangements regarding this should be discussed on a case-by-case basis with the programme co-ordinators at School III.
