The grading for this course is broken down into six sections. However, a student’s Final Teaching Evaluation counts for 25% of the final grade and the final grade cannot be any higher than the Teaching Evaluation grade by itself.
At the end of the course, students will receive official documentation proving course participation and completion, along with an individual report from Canterbury Madrid tracking the student’s performance.
