The project must include the following points:
Introduction and motivation in which the importance of the critical thinking is discussed
description of the classes
presentation and discussion of the methodologies deployed
description of material, technological and human resources
detailed description of the project including expected results, timetable, and activities
preparation of material to be used in the project
description of the assessment procedures
The evaluation of the project will focus on:
coherence between project and objectives
capacity to justify the project design
methodological variety
creativity
consistency with the material discussed in classes
variety of material deployed
appropriateness of the assessment procedures
The assignment must be delivered at least 14 days before the exam on Moodle. The oral exam will cover the material discussed in classes and will assess linguistic as well as conceptual competency. The final grade of the first module will result from the assessment (40%) and the oral exam (60%).
