60, BUT...see the following question

Is just having 60 points enough for a pass?

• Yes

• No

Answer explanation

Actually, you need to have your keypoints covered - you should get a passing grade for each keypoint

Which of the following are key points you need covered to get a pass? Choose all that apply

• In-class practive (attendance and active participation in class)

• Writings average score

• 2 quizzes/progress tests

• Module test (Speaking+ Writing)

• Homework

Answer explanation

Well what can I say? Attend the classes and participate! You have no choice

Choose the correct statement:

• You need to get 70% of in-class practice overall during the semester to pass the keypoint

• You cannot miss any classes at all.

• You need to get 70% of in-class practice each half of the semester.

• The approximate number of days you can skip each half of the semester is 1

Answer explanation

Each half of the semester there are 8 weeks, which means 16 classes. 70% of that is approximately 12, it means that you can miss around 4 classes (or 2 full days). BUT! Sometimes there are fewer days because of the holidays or a class cancellation - be careful and count your classes!

• True

• False

The keypoint is called In-class speaking practice - you won't progress until you actively engage in the class!

It will be easy to gain 60 points without doing any homework or taking 2 additional quizzes/tests

• True

• False

Answer explanation

No, as homework gets you from 10 to 14 points in the semester and the quizzes get you from 4 to 8 points - you’d need to get max points for everything else

What is a passing score for writings in each half of the semester?

• 6

• 7

• 10

Answer explanation

The average for each writing point is 7. In theory, you can have 4 for one of the writings and 10 for another and get an average of 7 - but what are the odds?

What will happen to you if you submit a writing or a homework late?

• The teacher will grade it

• The teacher will reject it

• 10% of the points will be deduced from the max possible score for the task but the task will be graded

Answer explanation

Teachers don't like disrupted workflow and like giving TIMELY feedback. So you'll be punished by deduced points

What will happen to you if you use AI-generated text for your writing or homework?

• Nothing, the teacher won’t know

• The teacher will know and I will have to do it myself and resubmit the task

• The teacher will know and I will have to resubmit the task and 10% of the points will be deduced

• The teacher will know and I will fail the course

Answer explanation

The teacher always knows :) Even if there's a suspicion - you'll have to redo the work. Let's save each other's time and do things right from the first time
