18. Requirements, way to determine a grade (obtain a signature)
Requirements: successful completion (min. 50%) of the midterm and submission of the seminar project report. The exam is the presentation of the seminar project. The final grade is calculated as the average of the mid-term and the seminar reporting activity.
19. Opportunity for repeat/retake and delayed completion
There is a retake option for the midterm and the homework can resubmitted upon request till the end of delayed completion period.
