Assesssment methods and criteria:

Classification Type: Quantitativa (0-20)

Evaluation Methodology:
Students work in class mostly in the following three variants: individual, with their partner and in groups. Students also will have to speak individually to the rest of the class when they will have to report on their work with their partner or group. Lessons will only be frontal when it is necessary to explain some linguistic aspect due to its complexity.The following is the UMa Student Learning Evaluation Policy (Model B) -80% compulsory class attendance -2 Written frequencies (each, 30%); 1 oral test (30%); attendance and participation (10%) In the Resit Period students with "normal" status (N) will be admitted who meet the conditions to recover or improve the test in which they obtained the lowest classification (30%). Students with student worker status (T) will be able to recover the two written tests and the oral test (90%) in the resit period. Other element of assessment - participation and attendance (10%) can neither be included nor improved in the appeal season.
