Students are allowed to sit the final/end-of-course examination (50%) if their attendance score (10%) is 5 points or higher (on a 10-point scale).

Regulations on class attendance

Students are responsible for fully attending all class sessions. In the case of absence due to force majeure, they must provide complete and reasonable supporting documentation. Each absence will result in a 1-point deduction from the continuous assessment score. Students who are absent from more than 3 sessions, whether with or without a reason, will be considered to have failed to complete the course and must re-register for it.

Students will earn additional points for each constructive contribution to the lesson, which may compensate for the continuous assessment score, the test score, and the group assignment score.

The course is conducted on the principle of mutual respect between learners and instructors. Any behavior that disrupts the teaching and learning process is strictly prohibited.

Students must arrive at class on time. Students who are more than 10 minutes late after the class has started will not be allowed to attend the session.

Learners who fail to submit the required individual/group assignment will receive a score of 0 (zero).

After the prescribed deadline, each day of late submission will result in a 1-point deduction.
