Jana: So we have homework, tests, what about attendance1? Should we require students to attend classes or? Sometimes people argue at university level it shouldn't be compulsory2.
Peter: I think you should attend some classes at least. You're going to university, you're paying for your education so you should attend some classes but it doesn't mean if you're not attending a class that you can still get the information and study by yourself too. That's why I like internet so much because I think people can get so much information from academic institutions via the internet, they don't have to attend a physical class.
 
Jana: That's right and on the other hand you might attend physically3 but you're not really paying attention.
 
Peter:Exactly. You might as well sleep in class sometimes. It doesn't prove that you're learning4 if you're there. It depends on the person again I think.
 
Jana: So maybe rather than strictly5 checking attendance, we should check what the students have learned6?
 
Peter: Yes, and how do you do that?
 
Jana: That's right. Now we come back to that.
 
Peter: Testing? I don't know. I think there are other ways of finding7 out if students have learned things if they, you don't have to call things tests, you can set students tasks to find out if they can do the required task without calling it a test.
 
Jana: That's right and then it becomes maybe a bit more practical too.
 
Peter: Yeah, yeah, I think so. I think so.
 
Jana: Did you do a lot of projects when you were a student?
 
Peter: Not so many and I think when I studied like education has quite changed in the last twenty years or so and I think people are doing more projects than they used to do when I was a student for the first time but I really like projects because I think it's putting your knowledge to work and finding out how you can apply your knowledge to make it practical and usable so I really like projects. I wish I could give my students more projects.
 
Jana: Yeah, that's true. Maybe they'll be better than tests.
 
Peter: I think so too, yeah. It's a better way to find out if people know things if you give them a project that involves what they've studied.
 
Jana: And in the real life they won't be taking tests any more. They need to be able to apply the knowledge, right?
 
Peter: Exactly, yeah, exactly. Do you use projects a lot in your class?
 
Jana: Not as much. As you know, we have quite a strict schedule so that we need to follow but like you I also didn't have a lot of projects in my school when I was growing up but yeah, I think it's definitely8 something to think about.
 
Peter: Yeah. Kind of tricky9 to give a project in language, like making a language project. For example, I remember doing biology projects.
 
Jana: Right.
 
Peter: Then you go out and you find information and you do research so you can find stuff10 but for doing, how do you do that for a language? Do you have any ideas?
 
Jana: That's a very good question. Yeah, just to use the language, right? That's the main project isn't it?
 
Peter: Yeah, I guess. See if you can use the language in different ways like for example.
 
Jana: There is some homework for us to think about.
 
Peter: I think so too. Yeah, let's think about that.
