kontrolltöid

Grading and feedback: Marks are typically on a numeric scale or letter grade, often accompanied by brief
Preparation and guidance: Students prepare through regular class work and revision, using study guides and sample
Variations and policy: The specifics of kontrolltöid—such as length, frequency, and weighting in the final grade—vary
