Assessment methods

Students have to pass 2 continuous tests (passmark - 70%) focused on the vocabulary and grammar covered during the term (both tests constitute 60% of the final assessment), and prepare a short presentation to revise the previous subject matter (10%). During final oral exam they prove their overall grammar and vocabulary knowledge (30%). Students have to prepare for lessons throughout the whole term and do homework for each lesson, which is the base for their active participation in the seminars. Most of the work is based on students' self-study. The students will be awarded the credit after they have met ALL the requirements.
