This means that home study, attendance at Zoom sessions, completion of case studies, ongoing review of provided materials, and full use of all resources on our Moodle learning platform are mandatory components of the course. Learners must meet a minimum attendance requirement of 80%. Failure to do so may result in being deferred from exams.
