- Theoretical
- Practice with individual students' personal work and by homogeneous groups
The evaluation will be carried out in two very different parts. The general part of the English language taught by the specialist English language teachers and the specific part taught by the subject coordinator of the dentistry degree.
In each part (general and specific), it will be evaluated according to the following average:
- Class attendance 25%
- Active participation and individual/group work 25%
- Final theoretical exam 50%
The exam of the general part will correspond to linguistic aspects themselves. The exam of the specific part will be based on questions derived from the analysis of a scientific text.
Enough to achieve the objectives set
Class attendance. Participate in class. During the distance training period, it is recommended to consult the Team and the virtual Campus daily to carry out the tasks that the teachers consider appropriate, which will also allow monitoring for continuous assessment based on active participation.
For the realization of cases, exercises or fraudulent tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of the academic performance of students and the review of grades will be applied.
