Total Score |
| |
- The assignment will be sent via email as a pdf or doc.
The score for in-class instructional practices (100 points) will be divided by the number of instructional sessions to determine the score for each instruction. For example, if two instructional sessions are scheduled, the 100 points will be divided in half, and 50 points will be awarded for each instructional session. For students who do not have mandatory attendance, the Class Participation Score will be calculated by averaging the midterm and final exam grades.
Rules
Regarding the points awarded for class participation, if the presentation report is not submitted—even though participation occurred in both the teacher and student roles during in-class activities—the points allocated for these components will be excluded from the assessment.
