Daily Lesson and Excursion- In the first week, the course takes place from Tuesday to Friday. In week 2 and 3, lessons take place Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. On two class days during the term, you will go on a course-related excursion.
- Each class consists of six teaching modules (45 minutes each). If you miss 8 modules (unexcused), your entire course grade will drop by one grade. Coming more than 20 minutes late counts as missing a module (this also applies to excursion days). If you come late to class six times (up to 20 minutes) your entire course grade will also drop by one grade. If you miss 20 modules, you will fail the class.
