Assessment criteria

18 Setembro 2017, 08:00 • EDUARDA MELO CABRITA

Students will be assessed on oral and written work. Weighting will be as follows:

writing test                                                    50%

individual participation in debate(s)             20%

oral, written task-based assignments

and active participation in class                    25%

attendance                                                        5%

Since assessment will be conducted on a regular basis, any task that is not submitted when due and/or any form of plagiarism (including representing anyone's work as your own or receiving any authorised assistance) will be given a zero.  Worker students may opt for continuous assessment (in which case they will have to comply with all the assessment criteria set for regular students) OR sit an examination to be held after the end of the second semester. The examination will focus on the contents of the syllabus adopted for English .

 Semester calendar

The writing test will be held on December 11. Dates for debates set in the semester plan may be altered in accordance with the work done in class. A Student's Workbook will be available from one of the green photocopy house at the beginning of next week. Students are expected to have dictionaries and grammar reference books appropriate for their level.
