Assessment comments |
For first-time students the grade depends on a written test (in wich competencies A5, A6, A19, A23, A24, A27, A28, A29, B2, B3, B7, B8, B10, C1 and C8 are assessed) worth 10 points or seven essays, up to 10 points in all (in which competencies A5, A6, A19, A23, A24, A27, A28, A29,B2, B3, B4, B6, B5, B7, B8, B9, B10, B11, B12, B13,C1, C4, C5, C6 and C8 are assessed). For each essay the teacher chooses a topic and students argue their opinions on that topic. Alternatively students may choose to argue against any idea previously defended by the teacher in class. Students must take care to argue opinions that run contrary to what the teacher explains during lectures. Each essay is graded from 0 to 10. If a student uses a string of words previously used by another author the grade will be -20. The points obtained in all essays are added up, giving more weight to the last essays, and the sum is divided by 7. More information in https://sites.google.com/site/microensayos/ . Students that choose to take the written test renounce the points obtained in the essays. A student can make this choice at any time during the course. Students that submit an essay cannot get a "No show" grade. Students who do not submit any essay and do not take the test will get a "No show" grade. Non-first-time students will be graded with a written test and they can get the "Honors" grade. Points obtained in previous attempts at passing the course are not taken into account.
