does not count as an attempt at passing the module Explanation: Depends how you've talked about it in the rest of the text. I always try and make "convocatoria" as explicit as possible. I believe if the system applied in an English-speaking country we'd just talk about "how many attempts you are allowed at an exam". I prefer referring to "passing a module", as some modules, certainly in Spain, have no exam, or a student may be told he or she has passed the module without needing to sit the exam. Here's how I've resolved the whole issue: http://www.uab.es/servlet/Satellite?cid=1096477685102&pagena... I've occasionally included "convocatòria" (the Catalan spelling) so that the student knows what it's referring to when they arrive, as it's one of those terms, like "alta" and "baja", that it takes a while to grasp the concept of, but which you then end up using even when you're talking with your compatriots. |
