Assessment will include the information detailed below, which is part of the welcome message:
"Materials and references are online and the structure of the different units will drive you to complete a task at the end of each section (named as âââ¬ÅâSTOP and THINK). These assignments will help you to understand and assimilate the main aspects of each section.
Three forum discussions will be opened to enrich the contents and the different sections at the beginning of each module. Students are encouraged to participate in these forum discussions with honest contributions and new threads related to the topics.
PLEASE, NOTICE that all essays and activities should be completed."
In order to obtain the final grade, students must complete the activities included in the agenda under the heading 'STOP and THINK' and participate in the forum discussions; likewise, they will have to review a book or a film. The list of books and novels to be reviewed will be included as part of the welcome message at the beginning of the course.
