Task-based assessment
The study unit is assessed on a scale from 1 to 5 based on course assignments and active attendance and participation. No exam.
One factor is attendance and contribution activity, and the rest are oral and written assignments. Each of these brings in 0 to 2 points such that
0 points = task done but not handed in on time/not accepted before revision
1 point = accepted
2 points = good work.
