First-time, part-time and attendance-exempt students will write five essays on questions brought up by the teacher. At the end of the semester there will be a written test in which the student can get 10 points. The student will get 0.2 points for attending each small group session. The final grade will be the sum of the points of the test and the small group sessions. Students who do not take the test will get a "No show" grade. Non-first-time students will be graded with a test and they can get the "Honors" grade. Points obtained in previous attempts at passing the course are not taken into account.
