| Metody i kryteria oceniania: |
Timely completion of assigned tasks is obligatory. In the case of assignments submitted after the deadline, re-submitted or not submitted, the grade is lowered by 10% for each unsubmitted assignment. The students are evaluated in accordance with the 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. Instructors are authorized to refuse credit when the student’s absenteeism rate is around 50%. Credit requirements - mid-term in-class reading and writing task (U1 – fixing register; U2 – fixing grammatical and collocation mistakes; U3 – fixing argument structure): 30% - participation in class activities recorded in an assessment log (U1 – reading and writing assignments, U2 – summaries of research articles for (non)specialists): 20% - end-of-semester in-class task: written composition (W1, U1 – linguistic correctness, U4 – structural and stylistic correctness): 50% Both the mid-term and the end-of-semester tasks must be completed with a passing threshold of at least 60%. There is only one retake. Student’s participation and engagement in the class will be awarded with pluses and minuses. Each student’s participation is initially assessed at a passing level (60%). Each plus increases that score and each minus lowers the score. Assessment criteria for language competence: Grammatical competence: shows a very good control of a wide spectrum of simple and complex grammatical forms (see the detailed description for grammar course) in a correct and appropriate way in academic, formal and informal register. Mistakes are rather very rare, difficult to spot and mostly pertain only to nuances of grammar; can easily correct their own mistakes. Lexical competence: uses a very wide spectrum of lexical repertoire (including idiomatic expressions, phrasal verbs, and collocations) to discuss familiar and unfamiliar topics, aligning it to academic, formal and informal context. Lexical mistakes are rather very rare and mostly pertain to nuances of lexical use and meaning; can easily correct their own mistakes. Coherence: contribution is relevant and substantial; ideas are very well-structured and varied. Uses a wide spectrum of cohesive devices, organizational patterns and discourse markers. Tasks are failed if peak performance shows features of level B2+ at most and includes errors from the category regarded as 'unacceptable' at the desired level. The value of the above qualitative aspects is the following: fail- 0-59% satisfactory- 60 - 69 % satisfactory plus- 70 - 75 % good - 76 - 85 % good plus- 86 - 90% very good- 91 - 100% |
