The passing grade for this course is 60%. 2. All activities (projects, exercises, tests, etc.) are of obligatory submission to pass the course. Failing to submit any part of the continuous assessment should oblige the student to take the 2nd Call Exam, independent of their average score. 3. Attendance and participation: Notice that this is a fully practical course. Therefore, the final grade will be based on regular class attendance, active participation and successful completion of all the tasks. A minimum of 60% of attendance is required to pass the course. If you do not attend our sessions regularly or if you fail the course, you will have to take the 2nd Call Exam. 4. No late assignments will be accepted. No tests/exams will be taken outside scheduled dates and times. 2nd Call If students fail to pass their first call based on continuous assessment, they will have to take a single exam (with practical exercises and a variety of tasks to reflect the contents of the course) for the second call. The result of this exam will determine the final grade of the course. |
