Grades and award of credit are dependent upon the sitting of the exam in the time period discussed: the exam is written (oral for appeals) and checks the mastery of the material at the level at which they were presented. Additionally, knowledge from the prescribed required literature (trade publications and drama texts) and a good bearing in wider European Social Relations (repectively, in the context of Western culture).

Regular attendance of lectures (max. 25% absence) is required, without which students cannot present themselves at the exam. The attendance is verified upon students´ signatures on sheets distributed at the beginning of each lecture.
