Die während der beiden Semester angebotenen Lernelemente in Form von Vorträgen und Schnellübungen 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.Die Details zu diesem Bonus werden auf der Vorlesungswebseite geregelt.
