Research (Research project) |
A6 A18 B1 B6 C3 |
The project will be carried out in pairs. Only in exceptional cases and with the teachers' consent may the project be done individually.
The project will consist of a critical analysis and assessment of the positive and/or negative contribution of an event or person (no longer living) to English-speaking culture and society. The project should NOT be a mini-biography, list of accomplishments, history brochure, etc. (i.e. Wikipedia-type information).
The project task will consist of: (i) an oral presentation to be done in class (dates to be published on Moodle); (ii) a 500-word abstract, including five keywords and a bibliography of all sources used (print and electronic); (iii) a print-out of the Powerpoint used for the presentation. Specific details and instructions will be provided in class and on Moodle.
Students should be aware that the faculty uses a computer programme (Turnitin) to detect plagiarism (i.e. copying the work of others, whole or in part, including copying and pasting), and the use of work handed in previously by the same student or by another student for a different subject or purpose. Any evidence of plagiarism will result in a zero mark for the project assignment.

- Mixed objective/Subjective
test: on the date approved by Xunta de Facultade for the academic year 2019-20
(first opportunity January 2020). This date is not negotiable, except if the
student has another exam on the same day and at the same time. The dates for
submitting work must be adhered to; any circumstance which prevents a student
from fulfilling his/her obligations must be justified with appropriate
documents. - The equivalent of a 5 out of
10 is necessary in each section of the assessment in order to pass this
subject. - The July opportunity is not
intended for improving marks. Taking place on the date fixed in the academic
calendar, it will be based on the repetition of the parts(s) not already
passed, maintaining the same percentages. In July, the 5% for TGR tasks will be
incorporated into the mark for interactive tasks, resulting in 25% for the two
longer written tasks. The oral presentation will take place on the day of the
written exam in July. The printed material related to the presentation must be
handed in by 28th June 2020. - Topics for resit tasks will be announced on
Moodle. Note that resit tasks must be submitted by 5th June 2020. Penalties will be applied for
late submission. - Students will obtain a
"no presentado" (absent from assessment) if they do not attend the
written exam and if they do not hand in 50% of the required practical work. - Students who fail the first
opportunity and do not attend the second opportunity in July will receive
SUSPENSO --fail--. - Students who are officially
registered as part time, as stipulated in the regulations of this University,
will be assessed in either of the opportunities according to the same criteria
specified for the second opportunity. Students in this situation should contact
the teachers at the beginning of the semester. - December exam (final exam
brought forward): assessment according to the criteria specified for the July
opportunity.
