Attendance and eligibility for the course:
In accordance with the regulation of the Associate Dean for Student Affairs (KJD) at the Faculty of Asian and African Cultures, University of Warsaw, dated July 31, 2021:
- “the permissible number of unexcused absences from classes is 15%”;
- “the total number of excused and unexcused absences allowing a student to take the exam is 30%.” Students who exceed this absence limit cannot receive a passing grade (even during the make-up exam period);
- "A student must justify an absence from class immediately and no later than 7 days after the cause of the absence has ceased. In particularly justified cases, the instructor may excuse the absence after this deadline."

Exam:
The final grade for the entire course also includes the grade from the general language test (hereinafter referred to as the EXAM); its weight is equal to
one credit hour for the entire semester (15 x 90 min.). To be eligible to take the exam, students must pass the course with each of the instructors. The exam consists of a written and an oral part. Failing the written part (below 60%) means you will not be admitted to the oral part. A failed exam (below 60% on the written or oral part) is retaken during the make-up exam session. The exam is NOT a test of course material, but a test of general language proficiency (after the second year, it is conducted at the B2 level according to the CEFR).

Failure:
Receiving a failing grade in any module, or scoring below 60% on the exam, results in failure of the entire course. Students who attended classes regularly but did not pass may retake the course during the make-up exam period.
