The basis for receiving credit for the NJF in-class exercises is attendance: students are allowed two absences from all scheduled classes per semester. After this number of absences, the student loses the right to receive credit for the course and must repeat it.

The NJF course also includes supplementary (self-access) classes, which serve as support. The classes consist of 30 hours per semester in the form of remote classes with the instructor. Each student is required to achieve 80% attendance per semester to be eligible for credit for all classes in the NJF block.
Assessment criteria:
a) successful completion of an oral presentation at the end of the semester on prepared topics for homework: a short text in which the student presents the main points and develops them in the form of a commentary/opinion.
