Metody hodnocení
This course is assessed according to portfolio assessment methodology, which is based on a continuous collection of partial outcomes based on the required level of CEFR. The recommended CEFR English language level for this course is B1+/B2. Your overall score will consist of a mark composed of:

  • Continuous work: homework, class attendance, discussion participation, and in-class work (50%)
  • A written exam (didactic test) (30%)
  • A presentation (20%)

    • Specific division of mark scoring:

  • Homework: 10 points
  • Discussions during class: 20 points
  • Summary of written academic article: 10 points
  • Summary of spoken lecture or material: 10 points
  • Presentation: 20 points
  • Exam: 30 points
  • Total: 100 points

    • The passing limit is 70%. Should you not pass this limit in the continuous work, you will not be allowed to sit the exam. You are allowed to retake the written part twice. You can miss two classes altogether (the first class of the semester does not count); however, you are expected to always come prepared, i.e. have your homework and/or text analysis ready. Unprepared attendance will be marked as an absence.
