Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course is designed to introduce to students the basic principles of Maltese. Students should come out of this course with a basic knowledge of this languages, including grammar, syntax, morphology, and lexicon, including an ability to write and speak basic Maltese.

Assessment and permitted materials

At the end of the semester (Tuesday, 21 January 2025), we will have an in-class exam. The exam will consist of a writing and an oral component. The written portion is open-book, meaning that use of all notes, dictionaries, etc, is permitted.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Grading will be based on in-class participation and final exam. The final exam will account for 50% of the grade for the course.

The grading system is as follows:

5) 0-52: not enough (not keeping up with the homework, homework full of mistakes, poor performance in class and/or on the final exam)
4) 53-65: enough (occasionally turning in the homework, homework and performance in in-class participation and on the final exam indicates some knowledge of the subject, but with much room for improvement)
3) 66-77: satisfactory (keeping up with the homework but without retaining information, homework and/or final exam passable but still not that great)
2) 78-90: good (keeping up with the homework, homework and/or final exam could be improved in terms of certain details but otherwise okay)
1) 91-100: very good (keeping up with the homework, homework and/or final exam has only minor errors, if any)

Students who score a 5 will not pass the course.
