95. The examiner chooses 1 topic
96. The examiner chooses 2 topics
97. The examinee can choose 1 topic
98. The examinee can choose 2 topics
99. The other topic can be given back without consequences
100. The extra oral question (due to the failed exam) is forgotten or, if not applicable, draw a new topic
Remarks:
Oral exam is recommended for those students who understand the basic biological relationships. Two levels of
oral exam can be chosen: basic or advanced level.
Basic level exam: 2 topics have to be drawn from the topic list containing basic requirements. The maximum grade
achievable is 3. One topic can be replaced by another one, but in this case the maximum grade is 2.
Advanced level exam: you have to draw 2 basic and 1 extra topics. Further, you have to know the extra
requirements from you basic topics, too. The maximum achievable grade is 5. You can replace one topic by another
one, but in this case you can get grade 2 as a maximum.
A topic can include the materials from multiple lectures.
