Repository of Information
Repository of Information
The Academic Contents for Subjects in General This area of the platform has helpful information and useful materials that help teachers and students to learn different subjects in English.
General Characteristics
• The contents of Great Start and Total Learning do not match with the Didactical Sequences that teachers use in class but they help students to get a better development.
• The course promotes autonomy.• The partial exams can be answered on line in
the platform or in paper version.
General Characteristics
• Students have to finish 4 units as minimum per partial evaluation to get the 20% of the grade.
• Due to the complications of uploading students to the platform and the advance of the classes in the first partial, we recommend the teacher to give the students the 20% of the grade corresponding to the activity work in the platform with other activities that were done in class or as extra curricular activities.
