Teaching methods
On-line instruction; on-line contributions, discussions, commenting on other students's work, evaluating own work through the comments of the teacher and other students.
Assessment methods
Each student is expected to write a text on a weekly basis. The first draft will be uploaded in the Mood-Link-A (by a given day and time) to be discussed by all the other participants who will give the author positive feedback as well as constructive criticism - suggestions for changes (by a given day and time). After that the author will decide whether or not to incorporate the suggested changes and publish the final version in the Mood-Link-A (by a given day and time). This process will be repeated every week (i.e. all the steps are required for awarding a credit). Throughout the semester students are encouraged to think which activities and how they could be able to use or adapt for their own teaching.
