Teaching-learning activities:

The main purpose of the Russian language module is to provide students with the grammatical and lexical rudiments necessary for the practice of direct written translation from the Russian language. Russian language classes are developed on the basis of the four classical skills (oral and written comprehension, oral and written expression), giving more weight to those that serve the main objective mentioned above. The classes are taught in the target language and linguistic practice is developed both in small groups and collectively, as well as in the resolution of doubts arising from reading the manual and performing exercises at home on an individual basis.

• Final Assessment System
• Tools and qualification percentages:
  • Written test to be taken (%): 90
  • Individual works (%): 10

- The type of evaluation will depend on the teaching scenario:

(A) in case of normal classroom teaching, as indicated above, 90% of the grade will correspond to a final written exam, while exercises and assignments requested for class will be evaluated as 10% of the final grade.

(B) in case of distance teaching (total or partial), a short oral test will be added, which will count for 20% of the final grade but must be passed in order to pass the course. This oral test will not measure the competence of oral expression in Russian, but it will be a verification that the student has the minimum knowledge from the exercises and works carried out during the course. In this scenario, therefore, the evaluation percentages are as follows: 70% final written exam, 20% oral test (passing required), 10% class work.

- The grade “Not presented” will be given automatically and by default (as long as the student does not express in writing his/her preference for the grade “Fail”) whenever the student does not attend the final exam.

The type of evaluation will depend on the teaching scenario:

(A) in case of normal classroom teaching, there will be a final test comprising 100% of the final grade. This test will consist of the verification of oral and written comprehension and written expression, and will take place in a limited time on the day of the exam.

(B) in case of distance learning (total or partial), a short oral test will be added, which will count for 20% of the final grade but must be passed in order to pass the course. This oral test will not measure the competence of oral expression in Russian, but it will be a verification that the student has the minimum knowledge from the exercises and works carried out during the course. In this scenario, therefore, the evaluation percentages are as follows: 80% final written exam, 20% oral test (passing it is mandatory).
