Students have to respect the deadlines agreed for each task. If the student does not perform in one of the tasks according to the deadline, the course is considered failed. Attendance at the sessions is expected (80%), if a student misses more than two sessions, the course is considered failed

Important Grading Information:
The provision of all partial tasks is a prerequisite for a positive assessment, if not explicitly noted otherwise. All students who received a place in the course are assessed if they have not deregistered from the course in due time or if they have not credibly shown an important reason for their failure to deregister after the cause for this reason does no longer applyStudents who credibly show an important reason (e.g. a longer illness) for the withdrawal from a course with continuous assessment are not assessed.Whether this exception applies is decided by the lecturer. The request for deregistration must be submitted immediately.If any requirement of the course has been fulfilled by fraudulent means, be it for example by cheating at an exam, plagiarizing parts of a written assignment or by faking signatures on an attendance sheet, the student's participation in the course will be discontinued, the entire course will be graded as "not assessed" and recorded accordingly.You can find these and other provisions in the study law: https://satzung.univie.ac.at/studienrecht/. In case you have received three negative assessments of a continuously assessed course and want to register for a fourth attempt, please make sure to contact the StudiesServiceUnit Sociology. (for more information see "third attempt for continuously assessed courses" https://soziologie.univie.ac.at/info/pruefungen/#c56313) The plagiarism-detection service (Turnitin in Moodle) can be used in course of the grading.
