Grading

Grading appears to be generous; many students mention guaranteed high marks without extensive effort beyond basic attendance and preparation.

Workload

The course has a heavy workload due to six hours of lectures plus tutorial each week, though the majority of assignments are light. Students spend considerable time outside class memorizing vocabulary and grammar rules.

Assessments

Teaching

The tutor is described as engaging but can be demanding in speaking sessions due to fast speech speed. The course material is reused with slight modifications, making preparation more straightforward for some students.
