Grade scale A-F.

The following compulsory activities must have been approved in order for the student to take the exam:

• Coursework 1. Compulsory attendance and active participation in skills training and seminar days. 

The minimum attendance requirement is 80% and is based on overall attendance. If a student’s absence exceeds 20% but is lower than 40%, a compensatory coursework requirement will be set. The coursework requirement must be completed and approved by the given deadline in order for the student to take the exam. If a student’s absence exceeds 40%, they lose the right to take the exam. 

The reason why attendance is compulsory is that the student will in this way acquire competence necessary to meet the objectives of the course that they would be unable to acquire from solely reading the syllabus and/or taking the exam.

• Coursework 2. INTERACT - INTER1200

The following required coursework must be approved:

Students must submit an individual log. Scope: 500 words (+/- 10%). The log requires participation at the two-day seminar. An individual assignment may compensate for absence.
