For a Pass on the course, participants must have attended 80 % of the scheduled course activities and participated actively, through oral and written presentations, at the final seminar. The participants’ results are continually assessed through group discussions of the individual reflections. The assessment focuses on the participants’ understanding, insight and ability to conduct project management.
