APIN - III. Ročník | Zimní semestr
In order to pass this course, you must attend every lesson. If you are absent for more than three lessons and these absences are not explained by a doctor’s note or other official document, you will automatically fail.
Another requirement to pass the course is to complete all the weekly homework assignments before the given deadline. I will deduct 4% from your final grade for every missed assignment, and if you miss more than four, you will automatically fail.
The pass mark of the academic oral presentation is 60%. However, if you fail, you will have a second chance to redo it with a pass rate of 70%.
You will have to retake the course from the beginning if you fail the second time.
