Regular class attendance (excused absence of 30% from each form of class is allowed (1 out of 6 lectures; 4 out of 14 seminars).

The student will complete the course if he collects 50% of the points that he can collect in the following way:

Four online quizzes (4x7% = 28%),

Critical analysis of scientific paper 1 (max 28%),

Critical analysis of scientific paper 2 (max 22%),

Design of a research plan (max 20%).

Absence from classes up to 30% (1 lecture and 4 seminars) assumes a justified reason and cannot be compensated (the exception is a discharge letter from hospital treatment). An absence of more than 30%, regardless of the reasons, entails re-enrollment during the following academic year.

It is impossible to "reject" a positive grade obtained on the final exam, but only act per Article 46 of the Regulations on Studies of the University of Rijeka (a student dissatisfied with the grade submits a written appeal to the dean within 24 hours).
