| Directed discussion | Making use of readings, analyses and explanations done in all classes, the teacher will propitiate a debate so that the students may participate and further their knowledge and textual-analysis competence. These discussions and debates will be used to assess the continuous work of students (e.g. required readings). The 30% assigned to discussion is made up of 20% for in-class activities (either individual or group activities), and the remaining 10% will assess the student's participative attitude in class. Those students who do not particitate actively in oral in-class activities will have to take oral tests in June and/or July (vid. NOTES below) | 30 |
| Long answer / essay questions | In addition to having covered the obligatory readings and followed the teacher's explanations, in this type of exercise/test students will have to prove they have understood the explanations and texts in a critical way. In assessing these written exercises, which include both the in-class essays and the final exam (June/July), the teacher will pay particular attention to the student's ability for critical understanding of the texts and concepts seen in class. As specified in the requirements for the English Degree at this level, the teacher will also take into account the student's linguistic competence in English, especially in written English. |
