Assessment and permitted materials
There will be three types of assessment:
1) Satisfactory completion of homework tasks.
2) A short "take-home" writing task in the second half of the semester. Students will be given the general topic of the essay the week before the assessment, so they can prepare ideas, opinions and vocabulary. They will complete the actual assignment as a short "unseen" essay in class the following week.
3) An "unseen" essay writing task in the final week of the course. From a list of 5 or 6 essay titles, students will write a short essay in class.
