Assessment and permitted materials
The final course grade comprises:
Group presentation on theory (20%);
Report on a writing activity taught in school (20%);
Group project on writing materials (30%);
Final exam (30%).
Three of the four parts as well as the overall score must be positive (above 60%).

encourage participants to use published material effectively as well as to be confident in preparing their own materials.
