Students can have some notes. The discussion that will follow must be supported by your 2-3 prepared questions. Your presentation should be supported by PPP. You will be evaluated by the teacher (minimum for passing is 60%). It will be included in the overall evaluation at the end of the semester (test+presentation+other activities+HW).

    Test on Units 3 and 4 date is in WEEK 13.  It will include grammar, vocabulary, writing, maybe listening.

    The retakes will follow the minimum of three weeks after the first attempt. The minimum for passing is 60% (or 70% in some cases)

    If you score lower than 40%, you will not be allowed to do a retake test 

    Credits will be given to students who actively participate in classes, do their homework, give their meaningfull presentation in front of the class during the semester and pass the test min of 60%.
