Activitats d'avaluació:

The percentages above concern students who choose SUMMATIVE or ONGOING ASSESSEMENT. These learners will also have to take into account the following considerations:
1. If a student fails the competence exam of the first term, he/she will have the chance to recover this part in the competence exam of the second term.
2. If a student fails the oral exam of the first semester, he/she will have to recover this part in the oral exam of the second term.
3. Students who do not show up for a writing test will have the opportunity to do that written task on the day of the competence exam of that semester.
4. Students who fail a writing test will not be given the opportunity to recover that mark.



SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT:
Those students who prefer to be assessed just once a year, in other words, those students who relinquish their right to formative assessment in favour of summative assessment, will just sit a written exam in June (50% of the grade), an oral exam (30%), and will also have to show they have done a number of activities from the Tell Me More program (20%). In both exams the minimum score will be a 5.
Notice of their choice of assessment must be reported before 30th October should they want summative assessment.

Criteris específics de la nota «No Presentat»:
"NO PRESENTAT" will be given only to those students who do not show up to the exam.

There will be three groups for English lessons, A, B and C, in order to reinforce interaction between teacher and students and promote conversation and oral practice in class. These groups will do exactly the same program; they will not be created according to level.

The English for Tourism & Grammar block will be done on a day and time different from the Communication & Culture lesson.

Students who have difficulties following the level of the course are advised to seek external reinforcement by means of attending the tutorial sessions of the professor, the midday lessons offered by Euroaula, self-learning work on line, conversation practice with private teachers or international students, etc.
