Assessment and permitted materials
1. Presence and active participation (50%)
2. Written documentation of exercises (50%)Important Grading Information:
If not explicitly noted otherwise, all requirements mentioned in the grading scheme must be met.
If a required task is not fulfilled, this will be considered as a discontinuation of the course. In that case, the course will be graded as ‘fail’ (5), unless there is a major and unpredictable reason for not being able to fulfill the task on the student's side (e.g. a longer illness).
In such a case, the student may be de-registered from the course without grading.
Whether this exception applies is decided by the lecturer.If any requirement of the course has been fulfilled by fraudulent means, be it for example by cheating at an exam, plagiarizing parts of a written assignment or by faking signatures on an attendance sheet, the student's participation in the course will be discontinued, the entire course will be graded as ‘not assessed’ and will be entered into the electronic exam record as ‘fraudulently obtained’.
The plagiarism-detection service (Turnitin in Moodle) can be used in course of the grading: Details will be announced by the lecturer.

Beside linguistic correctness, many aspects such as structure, argumentation, consistency, and vocabulary can contribute to making texts better understandable and more attractive for readers and listeners. The course focuses on strategies for producing and delivering good texts of different types (including adapting texts for particular audiences). This also includes writing CVs and job applications for the academic field.
The contents are partly delivered through input by the lecturer but primarily by means of practical exercises (single and group work, creative writing exercises).
