The seminar aims to develop your abilities and skills to work with the academic text – to understand the ideas, analyse them and interpret them. The classes are to prepare you to plan, organise and manage your research supplying you with a repertoire of basic research methods and techniques within the field of English studies.

The purpose of a seminar is to enable you to improve your knowledge and understanding of a topic by engaging with key issues - participation is therefore necessary and successful participation 

Our course employs a continuous assessment approach means ‘the regular evaluation of the learning process’. The ultimate objective of continuous assessment is to increase the learning effect. Research has indicated that continuous assessment has a greater learning effect than tests only at the end of the learning process.

 

You will be ‘required’ to work with the course material from the start. You can't suffice with only a final sprint right before the examination period.
 

 

I will put much of my attention to following your progress throughout the module. This makes it possible to use feedback to redirect you.
 

I would like to urge you to participate in appropriate learning activities evaluating your : 

 

• Participation _The assessment of such aspects as effort, enthusiasm, showing initiative, asking/answering questions, participation during discussions, submission of assignments, and participation during exercises or practicals.
   
• Knowledge and skills
  Determining whether you have mastered the knowledge or skills of a section of the course material.
   
• Working attitude_Certain attitudes can also be assessed, including critical capacity, independence, accuracy, responsibility, and proper/careful use of tools. 
   
• Group process
  In addition to the processes of individual students, the group process can be assessed. Examples could include evaluating cooperative skills or functioning in teams during tasks and exercises (using peer assessment and other sources).
   
• Progress The progress that you make can also be assessed. For example, the development of certain techniques or skills could be monitored, as could increasing facility/agility in performing an exercise.
   
• Attendance
  The evaluation of attendance at or absence from lectures is often frequently listed as a form of continuous assessment. I just expect you to be there.
