 HOLISTIC SCORING SCALE

The following descriptors correspond to 5 different levels of achievement. In order to self-assess refer
to the corresponding descriptor and give yourself a grade.

Level 1 portfolio: 4.5 - 5

The inclusion of different types of evidence selected by the student namely: graphic organizers, mind maps,
tables, examples of readings texts, grammar and vocabulary exercises, etc., reflect students’ excellent level
of comprehension of the topics studied in the unit. Completion of MOODLE questionnaires and activities, as
well as an active participation of the student in forums and synchronous encounters, reflect his/her
outstanding level of responsibility and commitment towards the achievement of the goals established in the
unit.
Level 2 portfolio: 4 – 4.4
The inclusion of different types of evidence selected by the student namely: graphic organizers, mind maps,
tables, examples of readings texts, grammar and vocabulary exercises, etc., reflect students’ good level of
comprehension of the topics studied in the unit. The completion of MOODLE questionnaires and activities,
as well as the frequent participation of the student in forums, reflect his/her responsibility and commitment
towards the achievement of the goals established in the unit.
Level 3 portfolio: 3 – 3.9
The inclusion of some types of evidence selected by the student namely: graphic organizers, mind maps,
tables, examples of readings texts, grammar and vocabulary exercises, etc., reflect students’ acceptable
level of comprehension of the topics studied in the unit. The student has as well completed most MOODLE
questionnaires and activities, and often participated in forums, which reflects some responsibility and
commitment towards the achievement of the goals established in the unit.
Level 4 portfolio: 2 – 2.9
The portfolio includes few evidence of student’s independent work, and/or his/her selected work is to some
extent confusing. The student has only completed part of the MOODLE questionnaires and activities, and
seldom participated in forums, which reflects some lack of responsibility and commitment towards the
achievement of the goals established in the unit.
Level 5 portfolio: 1 – 1.9

Very few or none samples of student’s work were submitted. The student has only completed some few
MOODLE questionnaires and activities, and hardly ever participated in forums, which reflects some lack of
responsibility and commitment towards the achievement of the goals established in the unit.
