Assessment tests conducted during the course will be assessed out of 10 total marks each.
Specific criteria for the "No show" grade:
Not making any of the assessment tests.
Single Assessment:
To be discussed with the teacher at the start of the course. It would involve to pass a test in relation to the contents of the course.
Minimum requirements to pass:
A pass requires obtaining at least 5 marks, averaged over all tests conducted.
