• 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.

B EVALUATED ACTIVITIES Cambridge One Platform: Graded Score

Notice that in this example, the student has

an Average score of 92% (A), but this result
only represents 3 out of the 26 activities
assigned in this particular course (B)
(3/26=12%).

Your Graded Score, will be calculated like

this: =(A X B)/100 ; (92% x 12%)/100=
11.04%

The final step is to convert the graded score

from 0 to 4, which in this case is 0.
See details in Paideia Idiomas.

C TESTS
The exam grade will be the average of the Unit Progress Tests (UPTs) (they cover sections A to C of your
course units). Whenever there is a course that implies the Mid or End of –the course Competency Reading &
Listening Tests, the average of the test results, will be part of your final exam. These tests measure your
Listening, Reading and Use of Language (grammar and vocabulary according to de CEFR). Check the deadline
calendar on slide 14 and on Paideia Idiomas Platform.

Important! In each UPT, only the first attempt is recorded as a valid grade. There is only one possible attempt for
the Mid or End-of-Course Competency Tests. If you do not take any of the tests by the deadlines, your score will
be "0." (zero). Take the test while adhering to the "no cheating" ethical principles.

Remember that Tests are only taken

from a PC or laptop, and with a good
internet connection.
