    The course utilizes a summative system of grading. During the course, students take part in classes, submit individual and group reports, and do a variety of networking tasks. The course does not have an exam. For each activity, students receive a certain number of points, which are summated at the end of the course. A total of 150 points is the relative maximum for this course, some students may surpass this threshold and have more than 150 points, which will not change the grading policy In accordance with new HSE rules, we have the following system of transferring points to HSE grades. The final grade is calculated as follows: Introduction to profession points (SUM) Final grade in HSE system 143 - 150 10 128 - 142 9 113 - 127 8 98 - 112 7 83 - 97 6 68 - 82 5 53 - 67 4 38 - 52 3 23- 37 2 1 - 22 1 Please, be aware that: 1) There are no blocking forms of assessment. 2) If a person missed in-class activity, has not submitted an SELF-report or networking/newsmaking task, he or she receives a ZERO (0). If you skip the class (unverifiable illness or personal circumstances, participation in university-sponsored events or sports/case activities, or documented chronic illness) you cannot compensate for the missed points by any kind of extra activity. 3) Late submissions will only be accepted at the discretion of the instructor and will be subject to penalty. Less than 24-hour delay in submission = -15% of total MAX grade related to a certain task 24 hour – less than 72-hour delay in submission = -30% of total MAX grade related to a certain task More than 72-hour delay (but no more than a week delay) = -50% Submissions with a delay equal to more than a week will only be checked with comments, the ZERO grade will be put. Late submission rules are not applicable for SELF-report, CORE report In-class assignments 20 SELF report (including reflection papers from classes 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7) 45 CASES from graduates 20 CORE report text 20 CORE report defense (including peer assessment) 15 Networking activities (guest event report, questions before & during guest events, etc) 20 Networking journal / reflection in module 1 and module 2 5 + 5 Additional assignments (CV or covering letter or else) up to 10
