This page evaluates the examinations on courses in Electrical and Digital Engineering at the faculty of Electrical Engineering at the HTWG Konstanz.
The course schedule is two appointments per week, 90 minutes each. Attendance is possible from a university classroom or from home office. There is no compulsory attendance as the legal situation does not permit except for on-site laboratories. The faculty does not permit entrance tests for examination attendance in general so that all students are eligible for examinations. Work performance during the semester is not measured. The inverted classroom teaching method is applied since winter term 2023 to support students' preparation for meetings and enable interactive discussions.
The examination office of the university creates the examination registration lists where all registered students of a branch of study are enrolled for examination by default. Examination enrollments and attendance show a significant gap.
The examinations are carried out in digital form, i.e. no prints, no travel. Attendance is possible from the university campus or from home offices. A monitoring of students during the examination is performed by camera and/or microphone in alignment with the legal regulations. Students are allowed to use the entire course material during the examinations. The online-examinations are barrier-free.
The numbers presented below might appear unexpected or inconsistent because of "unknown" or de-registered students. "Unknown" students are individuals that seemingly exist only on paper. While officially listed on examinations lists they never appear in lectures, exercises, labs or examinations nor do they register on course web pages or respond to contacting. This is usually a considerable amount of persons as shown in the course attendance diagnostics. De-registered students are individuals that officially cancel attendance between the finalization of the examination lists and the date of examination.
There is some uncertainty in the presence statistics because some students might don't want their presence to be tracked and therefore attend in groups from the campus.
1. Digital Engineering [w3] - Summary
The course content is structured in modules delivered by scripts and exercises, sample solutions for exercises, lecture videos (MP4), exercise notes from meetings (PDF files), simulations of simple digital circuits and follow-up discussion.
The minimum rate of points to pass the examination is 45%, i.e. 27 out of 60 points. Grades greater than 4 do not pass the examination.

The simulation of the examination pass rate is performed by variations of the minimum rate to pass. The curves are a footprint of the collective knowledge of a course. This makes examination results and the collective students knowledge comparable over semesters. The course content is always the same while the Inverted Classroom teaching method was applied the first time during winter term 2023.
Example (grey dashed line):
if 50% would have been the minimum rate of points to pass, 38% would have passed in the winter term 2019 (last pre-corona semester).
1. comparison (red dashed line): with the same rate of points to pass, 26% would have passed in the summer term 2020 (first corona semester).
2. comparison (green dashed line): with the same rate of points to pass, 71% would have passed in the summer term 2022 (last corona semester).
3. comparison (not shown here): with the same rate of points to pass, 39% would have passed in the winter term 2023 (first post-corona semester).
4. comparison (blue solid line): with the same rate of points to pass, 35% would have passed in the summer term 2023 (second post-corona semester).
5. comparison (black lines): with the inverted classroom teaching method, pass rates of all semesters increased to 50-60%.
The course of curve and the comparison to of semesters allows the assessment of the state of knowledge of the particular courses.

1.2 Digital Engineering - Bachelor Intelligent Mobility Systems (IMS)
The course was not offered in the winter term for this branch of study. All candidates prepared themselves in self-study with the available online material, i.e. lecture videos, PDF exercise notes, former examinations with sample solutions.
