Further information for students

The course has an 80% attendance requirement. Attendance is monitored. Absences are agreed with the teacher for justified reasons. For example, cases of illness or otherwise demonstrated competence. The assessment criteria will take into account the student's active participation in the course.
The student must sign the course feedback as given (task in Moodle).

Self-assessments are mainly done through the learning tasks. The assessment decision is based on the skills demonstrated in the exam.
