Notes:

Students must get 2 out of 5 points in each part or half, and the average must be at least 5.

Written essays must be handed in before the deadline set by the teacher, and always before the course is over.

For the July assessment students will have to take an exam (50% of the final mark) and do (oral/written) exercises of textual analysis (50% of the final mark). Those students that have already done acceptable exercises and essays will not have to write new ones.

Those students that fail or do not complete the first-chance (January) or second-chance (July) assessment will appear as Non Presentado only if they carried out or handed in less than 50% of the continuous assessment activities during the course (including both theory and practice classes). As established by the Vicerreitorado de Organización Académica e Titulacións, those students that fail in the first-chance assessment and do not take the second-chance tests will appear as "suspenso" (fail).

DISPENSA ACADÉMICA: Those who are officially registered as part-time students, and have been granted permission not to attend classes, as stipulated in the regulations of this University, should contact the teacher at the beginning of the course. These students will be assessed in either of the opportunities according to the same criteria specified for the second opportunity.
