Accomplishment methods Competence is demonstrated by an aquarium exam. You first develop your knowledge in student assessment by familiarising yourself with the course literature and preparing the answers to the 15 questions of the exam.
They have been drafted so that an acceptable answer always requires examining theoretical knowledge and practical examples.

When you have answered all questions, send an SMS (text message) exam request to the responsible teacher. The SMS must be sent at least 24 hours before the requested time.
The aquarium exam's four questions will be sent to you by text message. You will return the exam responses to the teacher's email within two hours of the exam's start.
Execution methods 1. Prepare the answers to all questions of the aquarium exam (15 in total). In the preparation, you must use the source literature mentioned in the "study materials" section and/or other reliable source material of your choice.
The sources used are noted in the text and listed at the end of each answer.

2. When you have prepared for the task (and have answers to all the requisite questions), send a text message to enrol to the teacher's phone at least 24 hours before the desired starting time.

A) Specify the date and time when you want to start the examination.
B) Mention the name of the study module.
C) Include your name and email.

2. Preferably choose the office time (Mon to Fri from 9 am to 5 pm) as the exam time. Ask the teacher about the possibility of summer exams. When the time suggested by the student (and approved by the teacher) comes, the number of the actual (four) questions will be sent to the student's phone.

3. You have exactly two hours to email the answers to the teacher.

4. The teacher then proceeds to check the answers.

It is especially important to remember that copying answers directly from the source or an answer given by artificial intelligence (AI – ChatGPT or similar) does not demonstrate knowledge of the subject. So do not copy under any circumstances but discuss the matter with reference to sources and your experiences. Remember to attach source references to the text part of each answer and a list of used sources at the end!
