Evaluation methods
Placement test: at the beginning of the academic year, all students must take a placement test, of the same level as the final exam.
The students who obtain 12/20 or more at this test may be exempted from the course but not from the final written exam. All students must take the final written exam.
Final exam (June session): the final written exam is compulsory and will check whether the objectives concerning listening comprehension and vocabulary have been reached.
The final written exam represents 70% of the total mark.
Continuous assessment: continuous assessment will take into account regular class attendance and personal work as well as active participation in group work and in class activities. Continuous assessment will focus primarily on students' oral work. Oral presentations will be made either individually or in a group and must be related to computing topics.
