Class attendance is fundamental since the student should not only learn to deliver a speech, but also to evaluate other speakers and learn from their mistakes. Students must have delivered at least two speeches during the course to be able to take the second exam about the theoretical contents of the course. Apart from the test, a session will be held for those who have not been able to deliver all their speeches before end of course. |
