Assessment methods
Students have to pass 2 short credit tests (70%) focused on the vocabulary and grammar covered during the term,and only then can they sit the final oral exam proving their overall grammar and vocabulary knowledge (70%) at the end of the term. Students have to prepare for lessons throughout the whole term and do homework for each lesson, which is the base for their active participation in the seminars. They have to do a presentation, contribute to the fora in moodlinka course and work regularly on exercises posted there. Most of the work is based on students' self-study.
