Approaches, practices, and methods used in teaching
participation in lessons is mandatory, homework
Method of verifying learning outcomes and course completion requirements

Homework will consist of learning new vocabulary, doing translation tasks and other exercises, and sometimes composing short narratives based on existing vocabulary.

Every second week, we will complete one of the assigned homework tasks in class for a grade, either in written or oral form. The combined result of these grades will become the semester grade. Each in-class assignment can always be improved. If absent, the work must be made up. These assignments replace the exam.
