Activities and Methodology
| Title | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type: Directed | |||
| Grammar | 40 | 1.6 | |
| Type: Supervised | |||
| Audiovisuals | 20 | 0.8 | |
| Oral expression | 47 | 1.88 | |
| Type: Autonomous | |||
| Writting and reading | 40 | 1.6 |
The methodology provides, as a basic tool for the learning of vocabulary and the implementation of grammar, the gradual introduction of Greek as a vehicular language in the classroom.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

- Regular participation (10%)
This subject does not incorporate single assessment.
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
