| Evaluation: | DTD (Continuous assessment: Students must attend at least two-thirds of classes):
PP – Preparation and presentation of a pedagogical progression
PA – Preparation and submission of a lesson plan on modern or contemporary dance
EX – Presentation of an exercise included in the main part of the class
AP – Attendance, active participation in classes and tasks proposed
Final Rating DTD = 0.3 (PP) + 0.4 (PA) + 0.2 (EX) + 0.1 (AP) is equal to or higher than 9.5
DCD (Continuous assessment: Students must attend at least two-thirds of classes):
E – Attendance, active participation in class
Tar – Resolution of tasks proposed by the teacher
PA – Preparation and submission of a lesson plan
C – Group Choreography
Final Rating DCD = 0.1 (E) + 0.2 (Tar) + 0.4 (PA) + 0.3 (C) is equal to or higher than 9.5
Final rating Practices of Intervention in Dance = average (DTD + DCD) / 2 is equal to or higher than 9.5 |
