Assessment criteria
EVALUATION METHODS
• A prerequisite for getting a pass is attendance. Two unexcused absences per semester are allowed.
• Credit based on a written test containing open questions regarding the content of the lecture and the students' own lectures, indicated by the lecturer.
Two unexcused absences are allowed. If the limit of three absences (excused or not) is exceeded, the student is obliged to ask the lecturer to determine the form of crediting the material from the classes. Absence at 50% of classes is the basis for failing the subject and results in the need to repeat classes.
The conditions for retake credit are the same as semester credits.
