Due to the specification of a part-time course of studies classes will have characteristics of a lecture, however they will have seminar elements included. Most often classes are supposed to be engaging, actively involving students. The material learned is verified with an exam. During classes, lecturer can ask questions or signal problems that might appear and engage students into thinking about or discussing them in class. The final grade is influenced by the engagement and involvement presented by the students and also their attendance at classes. Students can show their knowledge of the material by either writing an essay on a topic agreed with the lecturer or by quoting relevant texts. The lecturer can, but does not have to, relieve some students of the exam, based on the attendance and their involvement during the lectures and also based on the written works delivered (on the topics coordinated with the lecturer).
