End of Year Evaluation and Dpt Meeting

Evaluation
As we approach term finals week, I wanted to remind everyone of what we agreed at the beginning of the year regarding our students assessment:

At the end of the last term (trimestral o cuatrimestral), i.e. NOW:
Language: is not comprehensive (no-integral), i.e. contents should be evaluated by means of unit tests.
Global Studies: is comprehensive, i.e. the final exam should include all of the contents covered in the last term (trimestre/cuatrimestre)

December:
Language is comprehensive, i.e. the test should be a holistic assessment of the level students should have reached by the end of the year.
Global Studies: Students sit for term tests, i.e. they should be evaluated based on the contents of the term(s) they failed.

February:
Both Language and Global Studies exams are comprehensive, i.e. they include the contents of the whole year.

If for any reason, you gave the wrong message to your students, please make sure you clarify and set the record straight when you see them for the term final exam this coming week. Thank you!
