Activity (participation in discussions and reflections)
Presentations related to the class topics
Criteria for Passing the Classes:
Attendance at all classes is required. One absence is allowed during the cycle of seven classes in a semester. Other absences must be compensated by participating in classes of another group, with the lecturer's consent, or by completing additional work.
In order to pass the classes, a positive grade must be obtained for all assessed work.
For each task, the student receives a specified number of points, which are each time converted into grades. The final grade for the semester is the arithmetic mean of the partial grades.
In case of failure to complete the work on time or receiving an insufficient grade, the student has the right to resubmit the task at an additional agreed-upon date with the lecturer or during the retake session.
The method of verifying learning outcomes may change before the course begins due to the possibility of participants using tools that utilize artificial intelligence, such as Chat GPT, for creating coursework. Any changes will be announced to students in the first classes of the winter semester.
