VERY IMPORTANT REMARKS
Previous remark. In general, it is necessary to achieve 4 points out of 10, in any of the tests, to be taken into account. If the final test does not reach the specified note in June, it has to be taken again in July. As a result, the average grade for the course to appear in June, for those who don't pass the exam or part of it, may not in any case exceed 4.9 points. However, the rest of the marks obtained will be retained until July. Students who do not attend the objective test, known here as "proba mixta" (test and an essay, in which the test is worth 60 percent and the essay 40 percent), in either opportunities, and / or those students whose course work (written work and class participation) represents a percentage below 50%, will receive the mark of NON PRESENTADO(NP). Students who have made the test and have not passed, will be rated SUSPENSO (D, or below average. The opportunity of July, or second chance, also consists of a written, mixed test, as above, with theoretical and practical contents. In any case and circunstance, this test will be worth a maximum of 50 percent of the final grade. The other 50% of the July opportunity will be specified at the time, though, in general, will consist of a 5-7 page essay to be supplied by the examinee on the day of objective test. Students enrolled part-time, who have obtained a dispensation should contact teachers at the very beginning of the year to clarify their situation. Testing conditions will not be modified for those students, in general, who have not previously certified their impossibility to attend regular classes or, in any case, those who have chosen to apply the academic dispensation. Teachers will adapt the educational programme for these students, with reference to both the objective evidence and to the work they have to deliver or evaluative activities to be carried out. Also, teachers will establish rules to replace the percentages of activities resulting from the regular class attendance. Students taking the course without an academic dispensation or justifications must attend at least 90% of the sessions of the course, otherwise they will be directed to the July opportunity. The teacher can not arbitrate the opportunity to examine at the earliest opportunity to a student without dispensation that has not reached the aforementioned 90 percent attendance. The essays, or the rest of written activities, that the teacher consideres affected by the existence of plagiarism (copying), of any total or partial sources, will be rated invariably with the grade of 0.0 points, with no possibility of this mark to be changed by writing a similar exercise.
The evaluation of the written work of any kind is understood according to the following scale. A properly written test, though lacking contextualization or a mature literary background can not be considered sufficient to pass.

a) Depth of analysis, maturity and consistency ... 4 points
b) Comprehension and literary contextualization .. 3 points
c) Style, originality and creativity ..............2 points
d) Speech and Grammar Correction ................. 1 point

Oral activities for this subject are reduced to class participation and discussion, representing a maximum of 20 percent of the final grade, as stated. No specific oral exercices or oral presentations on this subject, either individually or collectively, will be taken. The basic tests will be always written tests.
