Dear students,
Congratulations! Welcome to the Bochum International Summer School 2024. If you receive this message, you have been successfully assigned to the BISS course “Introduction into the Geography of Innovation”.
Please complete all these two tasks of the second application step below by June 30th (midnight).
Application Step 2:
1. Complete a short pretest
To complete your registration for this course, you need to take the 'Entrance test' found in this Moodle course. (This will be available starting tomorrow at 14:00.)
The pretest is not graded and does not influence your grade for the course in any way. But you must pass it to stay in the course.
This entrance test is designed to assess your ability to retain important pieces of knowledge related to this course and is only based on the literature in the ‘Entrance Test’ Moodle section. It is supposed to mainly test your motivation for the course!
2. Sign and send the Declaration of Commitment
Please sign the Declaration of Commitment (DoC) by hand and upload the scanned version as a PDF file in this Moodle course under the Hand in Declaration of Commitment section.
Please
note that you do not have to register for the exam on
FlexNow by yourself. Once you complete the two tasks above, you
are automatically registered for this course shortly after.
Also, keep in mind that this semester, no special regulation was announced regarding the annulation of failed modules. You will be graded with a 5,0 if you step back from your registration at a later point without a reason named in the BISS Rules document.
We are looking forward to your commitment and participation! We are sure that all of you can pass the short pretest, and we look forward to seeing you in class.
For any questions, you can email us at wiwi-biss@rub.de.
Kind regards,
The BISS Team
