Students must complete the proposed readings (see list of contents) always before they are analyzed or commented in class, so that interactivity and debate are possible. Likewise, the teacher may establish a test or a reading test, which will always be done in class, on each of the readings in progress, either at that time or later than those works had been analysed in the classroom. The readings are obligatory and all of them will be evaluated individually. The readings and their respective tests are part of the evaluation of the subject, in the Seminar section, as indicated above. The supervised essays will be done in the classroom, and will have an approximate length of 6 pages, and will be written in English. Unless otherwise indicated, they will be presented orally by the students, in an individual way. The work must be delivered in a timely manner before being presented orally, along with the presentation (PPT).

The written exam (normally, two exams) will complete the evaluation of the subject.

In the June evaluation students will present an essay on the texts studies (50%) and sit an examination (50%). Students who satisfactorily presented work throughout the course do not need to hand in any additional essay, unless otherwise indicated. Students who do not attend either of the two exams will be given the grade of "non presentado". Part-time and students with special dispensation must contat the teachers at the beginning of the course in order to plan each individual situation and the changes needed to compensate the percentages of the grade arising from directed discussion, reading and supervise projects.

Students who have been granted exemption, as specified in the university regulations, will be assessed according to the criteria applied in the July opportunity.

Students sitting the December exam (final exam brought forward) will be assessed according to the criteria specified for the July opportunity.

(Normas de avaliación, revisión e reclamación das cualificacións dos estudos de grao e mestrado universitario). Turnitin recognises papers previously turned in by other people (or the student him/herself) at this university or other universities, as well as other material found on Internet.
