Completion option 1

Successful completion requires satisfactory performance in assignments and an exam. The course can be completed by accumulating activity points throughout the course, taking the exam, or through a combination of both. A certain minimum number of activity points must be achieved for a student to be eligible to take the exam, and these partial achievements must be related to the same course implementation.

Completion of all options is required.
