Evaluation

Continuous Assessment

To learn better and make the most of the course from start to finish, continuous assessment is practiced at Institut Nòrdic. We don’t conduct an exam at the end of the course; instead, everything done during the course counts towards the final grade. This way, the course becomes an uninterrupted learning process, and the results end up being better.
In our continuous assessment, the final grade consists of five parts of equal value:

  1. Online test at the end of each chapter of the book.
  2. Writing exercises.
  3. Oral tests.
  4. Listening comprehension tests.
  5. Class participation, homework submission, presentations and other assessable activities.

The continuous assessment may vary according to the level and language, but it applies to all levels.

Institut Nòrdic Certificate

The Institut Nòrdic certificate certifies the level obtained in Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, or Icelandic. To obtain the certificate, it is required to study and pass the continuous assessment at Institut Nòrdic in one of the courses taught by the center. Institut Nòrdic provides two types of certificates: certificate with grade and certificate of attendance.

Certificate with Grade

This is the certificate given to students after passing a course. The requirements are:

  • A minimum of 70% class attendance.
  • Obtain at least a 5 as a final grade on a scale of 0 to 10.
  • Complete all tests and quizzes.
  • Submit the most important essays.
  • Submit or present the required homework.

With the certificate, the student can move up to the next level. We remind you that Institut Nòrdic does not reserve spots. All students must enroll and pay for the course to guarantee their spot. Groups are always subject to availability.

Certificate of Attendance

If the student does not meet the conditions to obtain a certificate confirming they have passed the course, but has attended a minimum of 70% of the classes, they are entitled to a certificate of attendance from Institut Nòrdic. In this case, to be able to move to the next level, they will need to contact the language coordinator and arrange a possible make-up.
