a) attendance to classes,
b) time for learning names and numbers of all SDGs, and STUDYING 6 of them.
c) reading/watching the learning materials
If you reach/surpass 75 hours with the readings marked with an "A" you can skip the readings marked with letter B (or some of them). HOWEVER you have to tell me the day before by handing in the excel sheet where you annotated the time spend for Principles of Sustainable Developmenbt course. I will not ask you questions on the paper of the B list that you could not read.
If you read everything, then you will submit the excel sheet after the exam.
The timesheet will have NO effect on the final mark.
HOW TO HAND IT IN?
In the exam page there is a link where to update your excel sheet, I will open it the day before the exam.
