Activitats d'avaluació:

Your assessment

In order to assess your knowledge, you will carry out:

1) A role-play simulation representing 60% of your assessment over the course.

2) A final exam with a multiple choice test, some questions to be answered in writing and, where appropriate, a commentary on text at the end of the course on 27th November 2013. This part will make up the other 40% of your assessment.

So, the formula to calculate the final mark is 'Role-play simulation *0.6 + Final exam *0.4= Final mark'. Mathematically you can pass the subject without taking the final exam.

You will be provided with further details on 8th November 2013.

Criteris específics de la nota «No Presentat»:
A no show will take place if the teaching staff is not provided with a role-play simulation.
