| Homework and Projects | 100 %: one film evaluation and director's assignment (an assignment on a film we have watched, including a film summary, identification and discussion of the legal issues addressed in the film and information about the director of the film) The student can choose the film he/she wants, the submission date of the selected assignment is the class day following the viewing of the film. Since the film will be discussed that day, it must be submitted before the discussion. If it is submitted before the due date, it will be evaluated for corrections. If the student wants to improve his/her grade, he/she can make a second assignment from another film under the same conditions, in which case the last assignment grade will be valid. The second time film evaluation also means a make-up grade. The letter grade equivalents of the grades below 50 are entered into the system as F.) | |||||||||
