Observations regarding the Assessment Systems (SE):
During the teaching period in which this course is delivered (First exam call), students are not entitled to resit the continuous assessment components made up of Assessment Systems SE1, SE2, SE3 and SE6, except in the cases provided for under Article 8.6 of the REVA regulations. In such cases, the assessment will consist of:
- A final written theoretical-practical exam (50%)
- An individual oral presentation of a lesson for a primary school English classroom (10%)
- Submission of an individual teaching unit on a topic previously agreed upon with the teacher (40%)
The continuous assessment grade will be retained for subsequent exam calls until the course is taught again, unless the student requests to resit the assessment.
In exam calls following the one in which the course is taught, students may request to resit any of the assessment systems (SE1, SE2, SE3 and SE6) that they have not passed. Students wishing to resit their assessment or make up for missed classes must notify the teacher by sending an email to ycoyle@um.es within five days of the publication of the official exam notice on the Virtual Classroom (AV).
Assessment System SE1 can be retaken by means of a written theoretical-practical exam. The exam will take place on the date indicated in the Exam Call published on the Virtual Classroom (AV).
Assessment System SE2 can be be retaken with an individual oral presentation determined by the lecturer. The assessment will take place on the date indicated in the Exam Call published on the Virtual Classroom (AV).
Assessment System SE3 can be retaken by submitting an individual or group Teaching Unit through the "Tareas" tool within the deadlines specified in the Exam call published on the Virtual Classroom (AV).
Assessment System SE6 can de made up for with a theoretical-practical exam and /or assigmment to de decided by the teacher. The assessment will take place on the date indicated in the Exam Call published on the Virtual Classroom (AV).
Clarifications Regarding the Continuous Assessment System:
The final grade for the module will be calculated on the basis of the individual and group marks obtained in each of the assessment components, after applying the corresponding weightings. To pass the subject, students must achieve a final grade equal to or greater than 5 in both the Teaching Unit (SE3) and the individual Oral Exam in English (SE2). Students must pass BOTH components to pass the course. Until the student achieves a pass in these components, the weightings assigned to other parts of the subject will not be applied. The Teaching Unit will be graded during the official exam periods in line with the official exam calendar. At the teacher’s request, students may be summoned to defend their Teaching Unit in an oral interview and/or a written exam. The interview and exam will be graded individually. All oral tests and presentations, whether in class or during official examination sessions, will be video recorded for grading purposes.
Given the theoretical-practical nature of the course, attendance and active participation in class are considered essential. The continuous assessment system will only apply to students who have attended at least 80% of the classes.
