Speaking of topics...

Topics group learning units – topic items.

A topic may have other topics as a requirement and will only be released for execution after all of the requirements have been completed. The sum of the grades obtained in each of the topics – taking into account the weight of each topic – generates the final grade of the student in the class

It is possible to deactivate or reactivate a topic. As it is deactivated, it will be no longer displayed in the class, even if the student has already started it.

When a topic is deactivated or reactivated, the score of active students, i.e., those who are still studying the subject, is recalculated. The score is recalculated whenever there is any change in the class topic structure. Inactive registrations are not affected.

Inactive topics are not considered in the calculation of grades. However, for the registrations that were completed prior to deactivation, they continue to be considered.

Understand!
