Requirements:
- 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 any practice with another group. Attendance at practice classes will be recorded by the practice leader. Being late is equivalent with an absence. In case of further absences, a medical certificate needs to be presented. Missed practice classes should be made up for at a later date, to be discussed with the tutor. If a student’s behavior or conduct doesn’t meet the requirements of active participation, the teacher may evaluate his/her participation as an absence because of the lack of active participation in class.
- for a grade
The course ends in a practice grade. The minimum requirement is 50%. the grade for the tests and the examination is given according to the following table:
| Score | Grade |
| 0-49 fail | (1) |
| 50-64 pass | (2) |
| 65-74 satisfactory | (3) |
