Teaching methods
The methods used in teaching are mainly different types of discussion (pair, group, class), reading, listening and giving presentations. All these expect active home preparation.
Assessment methods
Attendence is required since it is impossible to make up a missed discussion. Regarding class contribution, students should participate positively in group and class discussions, and not only when called upon. Students are also required to give several brief presentations to the whole class. Throughout the semester students are ancouraged to think which activities and how they could be able to use or adapt for their own teaching.
