CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT IN REGULAR COURSES
The assessment during this course is continuous and will be done throughout all the weeks of the term. This
course therefore has no final exams but the following will be assessed:
1.
Tasks and class activities
2.
Homework
3.
Attendance and punctuality
All components will determine the final grade in your WRITTEN and in your ORAL.
1.TASKS AND CLASS ACTIVITIES
Written production and oral production and interaction will be assessed throughout the course by your
teacher based on your performance in class activities and, especially on 3 tasks (that we call T1, T2 and T3 where
T stands for ”task”).
These 3 tasks are to be completed in the classroom at different moments of the course. Tasks and activities will
determine 91% of your final grade in both your WRITTEN and ORAL results.
Around session 8
(week 4 in extensive courses)
Around session 16
(week 8 in extensive courses
Task 1
Task 2
= 26% of the final
grade
= 30% of the final
grade
Around session 24
(week 12 in extensive courses
Task 3
= 35% of the final
grade
Teachers are entitled to alter these dates and slightly advance or delay the deadlines.
Keep into account that all of them (T1, T2 and T3) must be completed to pass the course at the end of the
term. However, teachers are also entitled to offer an alternative to those who were not able to complete one task
due to work or medical reasons. Please note that only one alternative per course could be offered.
Please note:
• Tasks handed out after the deadline are marked as Incomplete.
• To request an alternative deadline for one Task it is necessary to inform in advance your teacher and the
Spanish coordinator and to send them a justification (supervisor report, flight tickets, medical letter etc.)
• Only one alternative deadline for a Task can be offered. The alternative deadline is possible six days before or
after the original deadline.
2.HOMEWORK
You will be provided with homework to be completed outside the classroom throughout the course. The
punctuality in returning your homework to your teacher and its quality will determine
9% of the final grade in your WRITTEN.
3. ATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITY
A regular attendance and punctuality in attending your lessons will determine
9% of the final grade in your ORAL.

4.FEEDBACK AND FINAL RESULTS
Students will receive some “feedback” (a grade) on their progress and performance right after tasks T1, T2 and T3
are evaluated. Grades are as follows:
A
Outstanding or
Excellent
B
Very Good
C+
Pass
85-100 points
C*
Minimal Pass
C-*
70-84 points
Fail
(Close to Pass)
D
Fail
67-69 points
I
Incomplete
65-66 points
60-64 points
59 points or less
0 points
The student did not complete the task or
enough activities so his/her performance
cannot be evaluated**
* Students receiving grade C or C- on their progress/performance must make an appointment with his/her teacher
to receive individual and detailed feedback to reinforce strengths and mutually develop a plan for improvement.
** Please note the importance of attendance so your performance can be evaluated.
