Specific remarks:

Students are required to attend classes and pass every assessment through semester. In order to qualify for the final exam students must achieve at least 80% attendance. Students are required to achieve a minimum of 51% of maximum points for each test in order to qualify for the final exam. Tests will be held during the semester and their makeup in examination period. The final exam will be held in the examination period.
