Grading comment
I used the literal translation, although I don't like it, and I translated the course content in a foot note and translator's comment. I used "test" instead of quiz.
The word "existence" refers to the justification of the very existence of an organization, based on its productivity, quality and effectivity.

Explanation:
From Wikipedia:

"En tentamen (eller tenta) är ett avslutande prov i slutet av en kurs på en högskola eller ett universitet. Den är vanligtvis skriftlig men kan även vara muntlig och kallas då ofta munta. I bland förekommer så kallad dugga vilket kan sägas vara en mindre form av tentamen. En förekommande variant är att man kan få betyg i en kurs om man klarar till exempel två duggor. Om man inte klarar båda dessa duggor kan man tillgodoräkna sig några poäng på en tentamen om man klarat en av dem. Kontrollskrivning har vissa likheter med duggan men skiljer sig på den punkten att flera kontrollskrivningar tillsammans inte räcker för att få betyg i kursen utan dess funktion är istället att man endast får tillgodoräkna sig poäng på den avslutande tentamen."

Vilken kurs eller program gäller det? De två delarna verkar inte hänga ihop - redovisning = ekonomi och existens = antropologi/sociologi. Alt. 2 redovisning är del av en annan bisats. Alt. 3 det gäller hur ämnet betygsätts - med en redovisning OCH en existens dugga.
