Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
30 class hours (= 22.5 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 60 hours (equivalent to 2 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 37.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Dipl.-Ing. Irmgard Köhler-Uhl
Lecturer: Dipl.-Ing. Irmgard Köhler-Uhl

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will be capable of examining and checking technical texts. They will be able to analyze different kinds of texts based on their target group intentions. The influences of text design will be illustrated and structures for easier text creation will be learned. The documentation of research and work findings, including how to handle quotations and Internet sources, their identification in texts and the creation of a bibliography will enable students to create technical/scientific texts more efficiently.
