IV. EVIDENCE PORTFOLIO LEARNING METHODOLOGY

The methodology used by the teaching unit is active and consists of the group and individual
elaboration of evidence of the students' learning process during a cycle. These evidences are written,
graphic and audiovisual records of activities aimed at showing, through conversations and short texts,
the development of English language competence. Each evidence, after individual analysis and/or
group discussion, will be stored on a virtual platform, which will serve as a record of the trajectory of
each group of students.

It is important to note that along with the development of the sessions, participants must investigate
or carry out activities that reinforce what was addressed in each session. Likewise, it is important to
emphasize that autonomy and responsibility are fundamental attitudes for the teaching and learning
process. The following methodological sequence is proposed as a structure for all learning activities.

Methodological sequence

V. EVALUATIVE EVIDENCE:

The evaluation of learning activities will be permanent, each activity represents a percentage of the
final grade.

The grading system is vigesimal and the minimum passing grade for the teaching unit is 13. Likewise,
please remember that attendance at classes is mandatory, according to CERTUS regulations. The limit
of absences, so that the student can continue with the teaching unit, is 30%.

*Active participation: It can be done synchronously or asynchronously. This includes oral interventions, presentations, tasks or
other activities designated by the teacher.

The qualification of evidence E3 and E4 is obtained by applying the following formulas:

E3 = PF3 (0.70) + PA (0.30)

E4 = PF4 (0.70) + C (0.30)

Finally, for the final grade (CF) of the teaching unit, the following formula will be applied:

CF = E1(0.15) + E2(0.20) + E3(0.30) + E4(0.35)
