Participation in this course is not possible after the start of WPO1. Due to the nature of this course component, the number of exam opportunities is limited to one. Failure to meet the attendance requirement results in an "absent" grade for this component as well as an "absent" final grade.
· Reflection: Failure to meet the submission deadlines for assignments results in an "absent" grade for this component as well as an "absent" final grade.
· Practical Test: If the student does not meet the required number of volunteer hours, this will result in an "absent" grade for this component as well as an "absent" final grade. Due to the nature of this course component, the number of exam opportunities is limited to one.
· Due to the nature of the participation and practical test components, the number of exam opportunities is limited to one, and the grades for these components from the first exam session are automatically carried over to the second session. Therefore, no second exam session is provided for these components.
· If the student achieves at least 50% (not rounded) in the first exam session for reflection, the grade for this component is automatically carried over to the second exam session. If the student scores less than 50% (not rounded) in the first exam session for reflection, a revision of the assignments will be provided.
