Passive presence without engagement will not be counted toward the participation requirement. 2. Final in-class written assignment (Pass) Important note. This course demonstrates that consistent engagement throughout the semester is as important as performance in the final session. The grading system is designed to reward ongoing participation, analytical thinking, and the ability to work with ideas discussed in class, rather than memorisation or exams.
