ADDITIONAL FACTS
Full-time students are required to regularly attend lectures (minimum 70% attendance at lectures). Students who regularly attend lectures can pass the exam through a colloquium. During the semester, students collect points completely independently and freely and thus create their own final grade based on several criteria: (1) attending lectures and assignments, (2) writing critical reviews of assigned texts, and success in (3) two colloquia or (4) ) written and oral exam. The scoring system for completed obligations is published on the course website (https://www.pravos.unios.hr/katedra-pravno-teorijskih-znanosti/sociologija-21-08-2017). Part-time students collect points in the same way during the semester, except that they are not obliged to attend lectures regularly due to their status, but they are therefore obliged to write and submit the 1st critical review. In the case of distance learning, regular students will also be required to regularly attend lectures via the Zoom application, which they will have to connect to with the camera on in order to record their actual attendance. Part-time students will also be offered distance learning with the obligation to have the camera on. Students who do not have the camera on will be removed from class.
