In the ethics course, one does not calculate with credit points as is usually the case in studies, but with ethics points (EP). 1 CP corresponds to 15 EP.
Creditable are ....
You need
The courses must have a clear thematic reference (ethics/sustainability). It has already been agreed with some subjects what is recognised as standard for the Ethikum. If you want to have a compulsory course credited, your lecturer must provide an exact percentage of the ethical or sustainable part of your work. Your ethics points will be calculated from this percentage. In total, only 30 ethics points from compulsory courses can be credited.
For pure attendance, which you confirm on the attendance list, you will receive 1 EP. In addition, it is possible to submit a written elaboration on the lecture topic, where 1 page = 1 ethics point (e.g. attendance and 3 pages of elaboration = 4 ethics points). This is possible up to a maximum of 15 ethics points (15 ethics points = attendance and 14 pages of elaboration).
Courses with a purely didactic content (e.g. "Learning to learn", "How do I give good presentations?",...) or language courses are not credited.

We are surrounded by social media. They open up opportunities for communication and information, but also collect data about us. In the "West" we often perceive them and digitalization as a whole as positive and progressive, whereas in China they are the backbone of social credit systems and a tool for surveillance and influence.
The lecture looks at the current digitalization as a cultural change, discusses similarities and differences in East and West, considers potentials of manipulation and the importance of (lack of) ethics.

Architects, engineers and others involved in the construction industry have a great responsibility for shaping our environment. Their actions have a concrete impact on how liveable our cities are, what resources are extracted from the earth and how our climate will develop in the future. What can and should they do to ensure that our environment is future-proof?
This evening will focus on the question of the design of public space. Because public space affects us all. It determines which meeting spaces we have, how safe we feel and what the microclimate is like in our immediate surroundings. What options do architects, specialist planners and developers have to design public spaces in a liveable and sustainable way - and what consequences do their decisions have for us all?

Limit means boundary, limitation. Limitarianism is a relatively new development in the theory of justice. This approach focuses on analyzing the harmful effects of excessive wealth and looking for political options to prevent this damage. For there are good ecological and social reasons to limit wealth that are not trumped by economic considerations.
