You will do your presentations in front of a committee of at least 2 professors (one of whom will be your tutor).

They will listen to you evaluate your content, audiovisual aids, English structure, body language, interaction with the audience, fluency, accuracy, pronunciation, the originality of your proposal and the time of your presentation.

The written assignments include:

1-Moodle tasks (reading and listening tests).

2- The research proposal document (RP)

3- The written exam that is divided into (reading and listening, Theory questions, theory practice)

We use rubrics to evaluate each assignment (all rubrics are shared on Moodle).

It is usually during the second of week of classes.

Students must get a minimum of 5 in all the assignments of the course to be able to pass the course. Otherwise, the student might choose between repeating the full course, and repeating the task he failed (in all cases this means taking the course in the following term).

Reading and listening.

There are 3 major differences:

1. No attendance is required for global evaluation students (the maximum grade they can get is 90%).
2. The date of submissions for continuous evaluation students take place before their written exam (earlier than global evaluation students).
3. Continuous evaluation students do a face to face oral presentation (OP), while the global evaluation students submit a video (the challenges are the same only the format is different).

It is a university exam the date of which is normally mentioned in the academic calendar of the college.

The number of dates the student assist to class (0.1%) + the number of time the student participated in class activities and answers the instructors ‘questions (0.9%).

There is no minimum, but the grade is affected with absentees and luck of participation.

Only students who do not submit the required assignments on time will be moved to global evaluation.

The ones who miss classes will be allowed to do the submissions if they opt for continuous evaluation (obviously missing attendance will affect attendance garde).
