These activities will cover the lecture content, the readings and your tutorial work.
The first two weeks of vUWS content will not form part of your final grade; however your participation will be compulsory as you will still be required to listen to the lecture, answer some questions on the lectures and the readings. A grade will be recorded on the system but will not be part of your final grade for these two first vUWS exercises. This is to allow people to get used to this cybersystem.
From week 3 to week 13, your grade for each of these activities will form part of your final grade. There will thus be 10 weeks of activities that will count for your final grade of 20%. This means that each week of these vUWS activities is worth 2%.
Each lecture and its vUWS exercises will be available for only 1 week. Details will be provided in lectures and tutorials.
