Requirements
A, for a signature:
Attendance at lectures is recommended, but not compulsory. Participation at practice classes is compulsory. A student must attend the practice classes and may not miss more than three times during the semester. In case a student does so, the subject will not be signed and the student must repeat the course. A student can’t make up a practice class with another group. Attendance at practice classes will be recorded by the practice leader. Being late is equivalent with an absence. Missed practice classes must be made up for at a later date, being discussed with the tutor. Active participation is evaluated by the teacher in every class. If student’s behavior or conduct doesn’t meet the requirements of active participation, the teacher may evaluate his/her participation as absence because of the lack of active participation in class. During the semester there are one test. Students have to sit for these tests.
Preparing measurement reports until deadline.
B, for grade:
At the end of the course a test must be taken. The minimum requirement for end-term test is 41%. Score Grade 0-40 fail (1) 41-55 pass (2) 56-70 satisfactory (3) 71-85 good (4) 86-100 excellent (5)
