V. CONSIDERATIONS

1. Upon the conclusion of the first week, all students are expected to be using all the materials asked by the teacher
for each class. Failure to do so will result unbeneficial to the student not only in the academic performance but also
in his/her disciplinary action. Reports will be done to the psychology department or the coordination if necessary.
2. Students will have formative evaluations of their skills and a final one at the end of the term.
3. Speaking and writing skills will be evaluated based on Cambridge rubrics.
4. All work should be presented on deadline for full credit. Late work will only be accepted by the teacher, with a valid
justification, and it will receive only 70 % of the maximum score. Otherwise, the student will get the minimum grade.
