In other words, students are allowed to fail any of the four components and can still pass the class as long as the overall grade is at least 4.0. However, students have to submit at least something for every component.Plagiarism and Ghostwriting are strictly forbidden. To make sure that these rules are not violated all written work will be crosschecked with a Plagiarism-software (Turnitin). In addition, on some occasions, students will be required to provide an oral discussion of their written work.
