Die während des Semesters angebotenen Lernelemente messen die aktive Teilnahme am Übungsbetrieb, was in mehreren Teilschritten mit bis zu 0.25 Notenpunkten benotet wird. Dieser Bonus von 0 bis 0.25 wird ungerundet zu der ungerundeten Note aus der Prüfung addiert; das Resultat wird zur Endnote gerundet.Im Prüfungsfach Methoden der mathematischen Physik II wird die Mitarbeit durch je 1 Punkt pro gelöste Übungsaufgabe bewertet. Die im Semester erreichten Punkte werden in einen Notenbonus von maximal 0.25 Notenpunkten umgerechnet.0 bis r Punkte: Notenbonus 0; ab s Punkten: maximaler Notenbonus 0.25; dazwischen: affin linear.Die Punktzahlen r < s werden vom Dozenten festgelegt.
