- Health sciences: Receptionist: «The next appointment is on Wednesday at 9:30.»
- Engineering & technology: You can book an appointment online with the clinic app.
- Business & economics: The clinic needs to reduce waiting times.
- Education, humanities & communication: Write a polite email to change an appointment.

Cultural connection · III PAC
Event of this week: Thanksgiving (Canada) (Monday, October 12). See it in your III PAC Cultural Passport.
Your cultural mission: Canadian Thanksgiving: clinics have holiday hours. Book an appointment for after the long weekend.
Mirror Honduras: In Honduras, October 12 is also a holiday. Compare the two days.
Include one comparison between Canada and Honduras: one similarity and one difference.
Be respectful: say «In my experience…» or «In my city…», not «All Americans…» or «All Hondurans…». Need ideas? Ask SofIA Cultural.

Rubric · 20 points = 3%
Language counts double. Your teacher uses this rubric on the UNAH Virtual Campus.
| Criterion | 4 · Excellent | 3 · Good | 2 · Developing | 1 · Beginning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Language 8 pts | 8 pts Uses the language of the lesson (Appointments + need to) and its vocabulary correctly; a call script or an email (80–100 words). | 6 pts Few errors that do not stop communication; the length is almost complete. | 4 pts Several errors; part of the message is not clear, or the product is short. | 2 pts Many errors; the lesson's language is not used, or most is in Spanish. |
| Process and use of AI 4 pts | 4 pts Draft + SofIA prompt and chat link (if AI was used); the text or file is complete and readable; the final product is clearly your own (AI level 2). | 3 pts Evidence or format partly incomplete. | 2 pts Little evidence of your own process, or a link does not open. | 1 pt No evidence, or the AI produced the work. |
| Career and culture 4 pts | 4 pts Includes an element of your career and a respectful comparison between the course country and Honduras. | 3 pts Includes your career or the comparison, not both. | 2 pts General content; weak link with career or culture. | 1 pt Not related to your career or to culture. |
| Autonomy and originality 4 pts | 4 pts Reuses and improves Act. 11; original and personal; complete Source card. | 3 pts Original, but reuse or Source card is partial. | 2 pts Very close to the model; no Source card. | 1 pt Copied or not personal. |
| Total | 20 points = 3% of your final grade (Activity 14). 0 points if not submitted. | |||
How your points become your grade: 20/20 pts = 3% · 15/20 pts = 2.25% · 10/20 pts = 1.5% · 5/20 pts = 0.75%.
Competency reached: 13/20 points (65/100) or more. Competency-based grading scale
Your result, two ways
Your teacher decides which one the course uses. Pass mark: 65 %.
1 · Percentage (summative)
your rubric points × 5 (20 points = 100) × the weight of the activity.
Example: 70 % in this activity (3 %) = 2.1 % of your final grade.
2 · Competency level
- 0–39 N1 · not reached
- 40–54 N2 · partly reached
- 55–64 N3 · almost reached
- 65–79 N4 · competency reached
- 80–89 N5 · reached with distinction
- 90–94 N6 · excellence
- 95–100 N7 · outstanding
Doble calificación: porcentaje sumativo (nota × peso) o nivel de competencia (aprobación con 65). El docente decide cuál usar. Escala completa
