If classroom learning is impossible, the workshop will be conducted with the help of distance communication tools, most probably Google Meet and others recommended by the University.

The course finishes with an examination ('zaliczenie na stopień') covering the entire material - oral or written.

The examination is taken in Swedish, but only the student's knowledge, not his/her command of the language, is assessed.

When the number of allowed absences is exceeded, the student will be given extra-tasks aimed at making up the missing material from the classes. In case the number of absences exceeds 50% of the component’s contact hours results in a negative grade from that component at the end of the year.
