To pass this course, attendance at 80% of classes is compulsory. Attendance and participation, which will account for 20% of the final grade, will consist not only of attending class, but will also consider students’ level of attention, the quality and interest of students’ interventions, as well as their participation in the activities proposed (e.g. by asking questions to their peers in the oral presentations). These items will be included in a rubric.
Students’ portfolio, which will account for 40% of the final grade, will include:
- the project for their MA thesis (structure, abstract, objectives, method and basic bibliography);
- the abstract for their MA thesis in Spanish and keywords in three languages (Spanish, English and Chinese);
- pre and post-test to self-assess their own progress in the course, including a critical self-reflection.
The oral presentation, which will account for 40% of the final grade, will include the teacher’s assessment (30% of the final grade) and peers’ assessment (10% of the final grade).
