Study guide FRN114 Grammar/Grammatika - Faculty of The ...

Module mark: Average of marks obtained throughout the semester for the two parts of the module:
Part 1. Grammar + Part 2. Culture & Literature.
The following make up the 100 marks of your semester mark for the module:
(Average mark for part 1 + average mark for part 2) ÷ 2 = semester mark out of 100
Semester marks out of 100 for part 1:
• Two semester tests of 55 marks each (55%)
Please note that there are three (3) test opportunities scheduled on the programme. Students have to
write at least two (2) of these tests. If a student writes all three tests, the best two marks will be used to
calculate the semester mark.
NO SICK TEST WILL BE WRITTEN. IT IS THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO ORGANISE
ACTIVITIES IN SUCH A WAY AS TO ASSURE THAT HE/SHE WRITES AT LEAST TWO TESTS.
• One oral assessment of 15 marks (15%).
• Written homework of 10 marks each (10%).
• Work done in tutor classes once a week (10%)
• Work done in resource centre (5%)
• Attendance (5%)
Marks out of 100 for part 2: (Please refer to the manual for this part of the module.)
Examination mark: Mark out of 100 [(Paper 1 + Paper 2) ÷ 2] obtained during one of the examination sessions.
Important information concerning the examinations:
This module comprises two examination papers. The examination in both papers must be written during the
same examination opportunity. If a student qualifies for a re-assessment in this module, he/she must write the
examination in both papers during the re-assessment. (See Regulation A15, T15)
A subminimum of 45% is required for paper 1 (Grammar) AND paper 2 (Culture & Literature). This means
that a student cannot pass the module if he/she obtains a mark of less than 45% for this paper during the
examination.
A student who participated in the first scheduled examination opportunity in a given semester, obtained a final
mark of at least 50 percent, but did not obtain the required subminimum of 45% (as stipulated in the study
guide) in the examination, can participate in the second examination opportunity. (Regulation A 15 (e))
No minimum semester mark is required in order to gain access to the examination.
Final mark: A combination of the module (50%) and examination marks (50%).
5. WEEKLY HOMEWORK
Except for the first 3 pieces of homework, homework is to be done in class (see programme for dates). Students
can attend either the morning or evening class as they will be bilingual on this day. THE HOMEWORK IS
HANDED IN AT THE END OF THE CLASS TO BE EVALUATED. NO HOMEWORK DONE OUTSIDE OF
THESE CLASS TIMES WILL BE ACCEPTED.
6. TUTOR
The tutor for FRN114 is Isabel Mostert (MostertIMM@ufs.ac.za). There are weekly tutor sessions which must be
attended, as it counts 10% of your GRAMMAR module mark. Only work completed during the session will be
marked. All work handed in late will not be taken into account, unless a prior arrangement has been made with
the tutor. Students are encouraged to use these sessions to ask questions about the course work that they do not
understand.
