your quality performance.
OUR ASSESSMENT
AND EVALUATION
• Performance is based on rubrics and guidelines,
which are public on PAIDEIA Idiomas - PAIDEIA –
Inglés (Empower). Please, get familiar with them.

• Attendance and commitment do count for you to

achieve the very best results.

• Tardiness is considered from minute 16 to minute 30 past the official class-start time. The
same applies if you leave or disconnect from classes more than 15 minutes before the end
of the hour. Every two (2) times you register a tardiness, it counts as one hour of absence.

TARDINESS AND
ABSENCES • Absences: Connecting more than 30’ late, or leaving your class more than 30’ earlier,
is considered as an hour of absence. This is the list of limit of absences per
frequency:
• Regular (Mon-Fri), Saturday, Intensive and Interdaily Classes: 8 pedagogical
hours
• Super intensive: 16 pedagogical hours, but you must not exceed 12 consecutive
pedagogical hours.
• Speed Up: 32 pedagogical hours, but you must not exceed 12 consecutive
pedagogical hours.

• Both tardiness and absences, affect your grades since they are based on evidence of
your class performance. Therefore, there is no justification for any of them.

* Remember that if you arrive 5 minutes after the evaluated activity's official start
3 time, will not be allowed to participate. See slide 12 - Intermediate Level Evaluation for
further information.

To do this, grades (0-4) are added in each period.

The grade is obtained according to a chart of equivalences.
Example: 3+2+3=8

B EVALUATED ACTIVITIES
There are three (3) evaluated activities:
A: GRADED BOOK WRITING TASK (GBWT) = (0-4) (which will be carried out synchronously
using Zoom)
B: CAMBRIDGE LMS= (0-4) Whenever there is a course that implies the end of an Empower text-
book, the CLMS includes the end-of –the course Competency Test.
C: IP TALKS = (0-4)
Keep in mind that rescheduling these tasks is not an option; failing to appear or participate and/or
turning off your camera, will result in a partial grade of 0. Remember that if a student arrives more than
five minutes after the activity's planned start time, they will not be allowed to participate in the
evaluation. Students are responsible for revising all of the information and details in Paideia Idiomas
PUCP. Teachers may remind Ss of this and other pertinent topics.

which you are registered in. They cover all the units of your course, according to the deadline calendar

principles of “no cheating”.

• Regular Course (Mon-Fri), Saturday, Interdaily, and Intensive Courses: Two (2) UPTs. Average
of the first one as a Mid Term, and the last one, as a Final Exam.
• Super intensive Courses: Four (4) UPTs. Average of the two First ones as Mid-term, and the last

of time given in slide 15. You can take them immediately after the end of section C in each unit. We highly
