Alternative examination methods
Alternative examination methods
According to § 59 paragraph 1 line 12 Universities Act 2002, students are entitled to request alternative examination methods if an obstacle or disability prevents them for taking the examination according to the prescribed method and if the content and the requirements of the examination are not undermined by the alternative method. This means: same examination content + same performance, but different assessment method.
