Students enrolled in the subject are obliged to participate in the classes. Two absences are allowed during the semester.

In the case of a negative grade for the test, the student may proceed to pass the test in the re-sit session. Only those who failed the course on the first date or who were unable to pass the course for random reasons may take the re-sit examination. Then, however, a justification is necessary (e.g. sick leave).
