Eligibility for exams

Attending 75% of classes, unless established otherwise by law.

Calculation formula of final grade

Class work - 30% (6 points)
written and oral midterm exam- 70% (14 points) 
 
The evaluation is distributed without final exam and consists of two components (class work and midterm exams).

The class work consists of three exercises: listening, writing and speaking, with a value of 2 points each.

During the semester two written tests will be performed to evaluate the contents given in class (7 points each), on the dates indicated at the beginning of the course. To make the oral examination, the minimum rating is 6 points in the sum of the parts. The oral part consists of a exam in January.

To pass the course, the average value of the written tests and the oral test (provided they have a minimum value of 6 points), will add the value of the class work.

Since no final exam, students who fail may make a recovery test (written and / or oral examination) in January.

All information needed to complete this class will be handed in throughout the first class sessions and will be available online.
