Aims, contents and method of the course

Learning Outcomes / Aims of the Course:

On completion of the course, students will be able to
• give effective, well-structured and audience-friendly presentations in English;
• plan and write effective, reader-friendly English paragraphs, using appropriate structuring and cohesive devices;
• understand the basic principles of argumentation in English, and apply them in presentations and reports;

Please note:

Business English III is an intensive course. As it counts for 4 ECTS, the expected average student effort is 100 hours, to be expended over a period of 11.5 days. This implies an average daily workload (including classes, the project and tests) of 8.7 hours.

Assessment and permitted materials

Business English III is assessed by means of following required work and form of assessment:

1. Class discussions and assignments (10%)
2. Project (40%)
3. Course review (10%)
4. Final exam, based on lectures and complementary reading (40%)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Under University regulations, Business English III is a "prüfungsimmanent" course, which means that in principle students must participate in every class. Exceptionally, you may miss a maximum of two 90-minute sessions. You need not provide evidence of the reasons for such absences. However, if you miss more than two sessions, you will automatically fail the course unless you can provide documentary evidence of very good reason for ALL your absences. Failure to participate in the first session without prior notification will result in losing the place in the course.

Students who satisfy the above attendance requirements must achieve a PS of at least 60% to pass the course. If they do so, they will be awarded grades according to the following scale:

Grade 1: 90,5-100,0 points
Grade 2: 80,5.90,0 points
Grade 3: 70,5-80,0 points
Grade 4: 60,5-70,0 points
