Assessment methods and Criteria
The final examination will be an oral test. Students will be asked to prepare and hold a public speech on a topic of their choice in front of their course mates, showing they have learnt the methods and techniques that were taught in the course.
The test outcome will be assessed on a 30-point scale. The final score will keep into account the student's ability to arouse interest in the audience, to communicate effectively and hold people's attention throughout the speech and, finally, to answer questions, if any.
The teaching approach will be highly practical, so attendance at a significant number of lessons will be considered fundamental.
