ОБ ОБУЧЕНИИ В ДИСТАНЦИОННОМ РЕЖИМЕ
СТУДЕНТ СЧИТАЕТСЯ ПРИСУТСТВУЮЩИМ НА ЗАНЯТИИ, ЕСЛИ У НЕГО ВКЛЮЧЕНЫ КАМЕРА И МИКРОФОН, И ПРИ ЭТОМ СТУДЕНТ АКТИВНО ВКЛЮЧАЕТСЯ В РАБОТУ.
OBSERVE THE RULES
1. Contacting by Zoom and suchlike messengers or platforms
1.1. Try to come on time. Don't be too nervous if it might take you a few minutes to wait for broadcasting or to install update. Normally the teacher would start every topic in a rather slow and paced manner.
1.2. If you join a lecture a bit too late, don't say aloud 'Hello, bro!'. Switch off your microphone and send your best greeting to your group monitor in the chatroom.
1.3. Be present, concentrated and following the discourse.You may be asked almost any time by teacher to say something aloud, using your microphone, or express yourself by using chat.
1.4. Don't forget to specify correctly your true name and your group number. 1.4.2. Otherwise, if you present yourself (for instance) as Pirate of Caribbean or Selina Kyle (or something) your demand to join the meeting will be mercilessly ignored or expelled. No sympathy or condolatory!
1.5. You need to be present in camera for at least 95% of the lecture.
1.5.1. You can use your avatars moderately (i.e.5% of the meeting). You can use your face photographs only in that case.
Your true name and your actual group number must be present there. No Jolly Roger, no bunnies, please! Jolly Roger See point 1.4.2.
1.6. Don't forget to say your name and group number when asking or answering teachers questions. It will help the teacher and your Group monitor to appreciate your contribution to the lesson. Be polite, constructive and well-organized.
1.7. Don't forget that constructive interaction in the lesson is evaluated (e.g. you can get extra scores for witty questions, good reasoning, well-preparedness, informative reports and presentations).
1.8. You need to master your networking skills and personal time-management strategy at the classes. Don't say "I was so shy", if you didn't take part in discussion, reports, presentations, solving tasks, doing exercises, asking and answering questions in the lesson, writing essays etc.
1.9. It is taken for granted that learners acquire new learning skills both in the lesson and by doing home assignment.
1.10. You can record lectures for your own personal use only. You cannot use them to inflict harm to anyone. You cannot distribute them or any part of them without written permission of the proprietors. If the authors and proprietors will want to make it public, they will make it public, unless the rights of other parties are violated.
2. Contacting by e-mail
2.1. Use only corporate e-mail both for the sender and the addressee of your letter (aa.bogatyrev@mpgu.edu).
2.2. Don't forget to specify your name, if you are writing on behalf of the academic group. Anonymous letters will receive invisible answers.
2.3. Don't forget to specify the purpose of your letter and what exactly you want to know or get.
2.4. Don't forget to ask the monitor first. Many questions may be caused simply by banal [bə'nɑːl] absent-mindedness.
2.5. The monitor should consult the teacher. This would be more productive for answers to reach concern of every student in the group.
2.6. Make a list of questions first.
Then organize them hierarchically, starting from most urgent. Number your questions in order to check answers.
2.7. Never expect teachers to send you any learning materials to your non-corporate e-mail box.
2.8. It is not a good idea to ask questions on the eve of the meeting. These are likely not to be answered due to many reasons. This is also a direct signal to the teacher that you have not been preparing thoroughly to classes. The best time for correspondence is Thursday evening (till Saturday morning).
Try to be patient. Don't forget that it may take time to read and answer all coming letters.
2.9. You can send your teacher some critical remarks concerning exercises, whenever necessary. If these are just and helpful, the teacher will certainly appreciate them.
3. A few scoring policy remarks
3.1. Normally the scoring policy is discussed in detail on the first day of the lesson of the starting module. If you still have some doubts,ask your monitor to pose a question. Don't forget to use corporate e-mail both for the sender and the addressee of your letter (aa.bogatyrev@mpgu.edu).
3.2. The monitor traces and records the activity of every group member both at the seminars and at the lectures.
3.3. There are numerous and various forms of accountable learning activities to be assessed by scores: from participating in discussion, making reports, presentations, solving tasks, doing exercises, testing, asking and answering questions in the lesson, writing essays, precis ['preɪsiː], working on individual or group projects etc.
3.4.1. The scores one gets depend not only on quantity, but also on the quality of the job done. For example, students' personal presentations in the first module are judged by criteria.
A Short List of Minimum Requirements for your PPT Presentations
3.4.2. Education means development. The criteria of assessment may vary from one module to another, not within one module.
3.4.3. Taking part in Group presentation is a must for each student; preparing micro-group or individual presentations may be optional. However, the options you choose would influence your amount of knowledges and skills and your scores.
3.4.4. All the tests are absolutely obligatory. Normally no ther chance.
3.5. We are striving for high transparency. Normally there is no way and no reason whatever for revising scores. So you can't do a lot in the second module to compensate low performance in the first module, when it is already over.
4. A few tips on preparing to exam and doing your home assignment
4.1. First, you have a list of questions for the term. Consequently, you could use it productively to trace your progress in learning from the very first day. You could use electronic data collection of useful materials and organize it in the best way you like. Try many and decide on the most suitable personally for you. You can measure your progress by doing exercises and testing. So don't neglect revising your progress.
4.2. It could be a good idea to start with working on your Glossary of useful terms not to beat about the bush at the exam.
4.3. Be proactive in the lesson. Pose questions. Try to answer teacher's questions. Be the first to solve the task and explain the solution.
4.4. To do things on time you may need to think well and plan your job well ahead of time.
4.5. Critical Reading maybe the only thing that can tell an educated and subtle person from layman.
4.6. Don't make presentations and reports on what you already know very well. Take the topics you want to shed some light on.
4.7. The direct way to learn something is teach it. Try to tell people at home what you have been learning today. Imagine yourself a teacher and show your talent in things like presentations, reports, essays. Prepare some helpful tasks or tests for your peers in Linguistics.
4.8. Always draw a structure of your message before saying it.
Always explain the algorism of you actions in doing tasks and exercises. Use diagrams and tables whenever possible.
4.9. If you can't solve the task at the third go, don't give up. Consult others after your tenth try.
4.10. Never give in.
5. Tips for making a presentation / report.
1. A good presenter is expected to introduce oneself and the topic of presentation effectively, keeping in touch with the audience and stipulating involvement of the listeners.
2. A good presenter is expected to speak good English and stick to the point and avoid making far-fetched digressions in explanation.
3. A good presenter is expected to guide the audience through the structure of the report. A good presenter is expected to state and fulfil(l) the tasks of one's own presentation and provide clues for understanding the method, allowing to arrive at conclusions.
4. A good presenter is expected to make comments on the text - not just read what's written on the slides. (All the comments must be informative and stipulating deeper understanding.). A good presenter is expected to deal with visuals effectively.
5. A good presenter is expected to maintain good control over the audience's understanding of the message, which may be provided in form of a dialogue or control questions or test.
