ASSESSMENT:
The assessment of students' learning during the semester will be continuous and will be used to regulate and supervise the students's work. In order to take the continuous assessment, it is necessary to complete the presentations, hand in the work and take the final exam, which will take place on the dates set by the Faculty for the second term exams. Those dates can be consulted on the faculty website in the academic organisation section (www.fcced.webs.uvigo.es).
THE USE OF AUTOMATIC TRANSLATORS IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. The use of automatic translators in assignments, as well as the direct copying of information from the internet, will result in the loss of the right to the continuous assessment and to sit any other exam in the same year.
The final grade of each student will be the result of a number of weighted marks obtained throughout the course. Within the percentage of the assignments and presentations, a part will be assigned for the degree of phonetic correction of the student. Attendance, participation and collaboration in class activities, the completion of practical exercises, and the preparation and submission of assignments will be positively assessed. Work may only be handed in in the form and on the date indicated.
In order to add up all the marks obtained during the course, it is necessary to do all the tasks during the continuous assessment.
- Students who are unable to attend classes, but who wish to take advantage of continuous assessment, may do so as long as they make the presentations on the dates assigned by the teacher. Changes must be made by swapping with classmates.
Global assessment
All students, whether they attend class or not, have the right to be assessed by means of an exam or as established in the teaching guide (unless they have used translators to do their homework). The dates will be the ones set by the Faculty for the second term exams, which can be consulted on the faculty website in the academic organisation section (www.fcced.webs.uvigo.es). Students will have to do a written part and an oral part. To pass the subject, students should obtained at least 37 points from the 75 devoted to the written test. This test will include four parts: listening comprehension (15), reading comprehension (15) grammar (30) and writing (15). If you have more than 37 points in this written part, you can take the oral test. It will be assessed with 25 points.The test will consist of a 10-minute conversation on the film and the stories proposed in the bibliography. This material will be made available to students at the beginning of the course on the Moovi platform and in the library.
SECOND CHANCE
If the subject has not been passed in the first exam, the competences not acquired will be assessed in July. Then students will have the full mark (100%). The test will consist of listening, reading, writing and grammar exercises (75%) and a 10-minutes oral test (25%). Students will have to talk in English with the teacher about didactic aspects or interesting points of the film and the compulsory tales. In order to pass the subject, it is necessary to obtain at least 37 points in the written part, out of 75. This opens the possibility to take the oral test (25). The test will consist of a 10-minute conversation on the film and the stories proposed in the bibliography.
The date of the exam can be consulted on the faculty website (www.fcced.webs.uvigo.es). In case of confinement, the test will be held online and the exam will consist of 4 oral parts, with a score of 25 points each. Three of the exercises will be communicated to the student during the exam and the fourth will be devoted to the oral test about the compulsory readings and films. |
