Teaching-learning activities:

This course is based on the practical acquisition of the Russian language, so classes will be conducted, as far as possible, in the target language. Theoretical explanations are kept to a minimum and have a practical character, being left for the student's individual work as individual homework (reading the manual). The classes focus on the practice of the language in its four skills (oral and written comprehension, oral and written expression), both in small groups and collectively, as well as on the resolution of doubts arising from the reading of the manual and individual exercises at home.

• 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 (compulsory to pass it.
