Teacher's information
Attending the lectures is desirable. In the course of the first lecture the lecturer will communicate to the students the requirements regarding the conditions of successfully passing the subject. Succeeding in the fail/pass test requires attaining the score of at least 60 percent at the test papers (typically two in the semester) or 70 percent at the remedial test paper. The exact requirements and dates for submitting the papers are set by the tutor. The exam is merely oral. In its course one tests the knowledge and the skills of the students gained during the study of the subject in question.
