(tylko po angielsku) USE OF ENGLISH Observation of participation, preparation and homework as well as Moodle assignment completion documented in an activity log (U1, U2, K1) Mid-semester test and final test (W1, U1, U2, K1) SPEAKING AND LISTENING: Continuous assessment of student activity in group work (U6, U8, K4) Assessed prepared and improvised presentations (U7, U8, K4, U10) Mid-semester tests (including vocabulary and listening comprehension) and final oral test (W3, U9, K4) Assessment criteria: Practical English course grades will be given in reference to the following criteria: fail – 0 – 59% satisfactory - 60 – 69% satisfactory plus - 70 – 75% good - 76 – 85% good plus - 86 – 90% very good - 91 – 100% The final grade in the course is assigned to the average of the three components’ percentages. The final test or assignment in every Practical English module is administered to determine the extent to which students have met the assumed learning outcomes. The final test or assignment has to be passed for the successful completion of the course. Students who have failed a test or assignment are allowed one retake, which in the case of the final test is administered in the retake examination session. The students are evaluated in accordance with university regulations, and they must attend all course meetings. Informed participation in class discussions – based on completion of the assigned reading and supportive collaboration with classmates – is also required. Each class absence has to be excused in the first week after the lesson missed. The final grade percentage will be reduced for every unexcused absence. A grade average of at least 60% must be achieved to pass each Practical English module, so the students who have passed the final test but failed to obtain the required cumulative grade point average have to retake the final test and achieve a result sufficient to make up for the points lost due to unexcused absences. Instructors are authorized to refuse credit when the student’s absenteeism rate is around 50%. Timely completion of assigned tasks is obligatory. In the case of assignments submitted after the deadline or re-submitted, the grade is lowered. NOTE: all the above principles apply to all kinds of classes: traditional classroom and all forms of remote teaching. In case of online teaching, the tests may likewise be administered remotely in a form facilitating the verification of the achievement of learning outcomes. |
