Attendance at and preparation for classes are necessary conditions for passing.

In addition, each student must write a writing assignment, which is assessed by the instructor. The person conducting classes decides on the requirements for writing assignment as well as on additional conditions for completing the exercises (accepted number of absences, tests, etc.).

The subject of the final essay should be reported to the instructor before the completion of work. The essay must be submitted so the instructor can grade it before the exam - the schedule and exceptions to these deadlines are decided by the person conducting the classes. The work is graded on a score scale of 0-20 points, the threshold for completing the work is 11 points. The instructor also evaluates the student's activity on a scale of 0-10 points.
