Wrap up and final tutorials

Important:

Please note that all assignments, TP documents, homework and observation tasks have to be handed in in electronic form.

Please keep them organised in a folder as that will help you to put together a neat portfolio at the end of the course. You as the course participants are responsible for keeping your portfolio updated – it is not the responsibility of the trainers. If your portfolio is not in order when it is send to the AU (assessment unit) you might fail the course.

Each document in the portfolio needs to be named in the same format: IH Bratislava_ surname_first name_ …..

Also the folders should be labelled in a way that is clear e.g. Observation Tasks, Teaching Practice, Assignments, Homework tasks, etc

All homework and observation tasks are due on the date given. If it says by the end of the week, it means Sunday evening 6 p.m. at the latest. This way we will have enough time to check the tasks and comment on them.

The lesson plans for the TPs should be send to us at least a day before you teach, so that we have the chance to look at them and can give you ideas on how to improve them if needed. See this as a chance for yourself.

If you have any problems or you cannot keep one of the due dates, let us know early in advance so that we can find a solution.
