General description Study of the different critical perspectives of literary and cultural analysis which deal with the intersection of identities and cultures in the English speaking world. We will analyze diasporic and transnational literatures as well as the transcultural construction of the so-called “national literatures.”
Contingency plan 1. MODIFICATIONS TO THE CONTENTS None. 2. METHODOLOGIES Teaching methodologies that are kept • Online (Moodle) activities and “supervised project”. Teaching methodologies that are modified • In an on-line teaching scenario, the “seminars” and “document analysis” (close reading and critical analysis of texts) will be carried out via Moodle assignments and/or discussion forums. • Oral presentations may be replaced by recorded presentations. 3. TUTORIALS AND PERSONALIZED ATTENTION • MOODLE TUTORIAL FORUMS, initiated by students and checked on a weekly basis. • E-MAIL (especially for individual queries and doubts), on a weekly basis. 4. ASSESSMENT While the distribution of percentages will not change, the different assessment methods will have to be adapted to the new circumstances, as follows: • 40% - course work carried out via Moodle assignments and/or discussion forums • 60% - Final essay / project: the oral presentation may be replaced by recorded presentations. ASSESSMENT COMMENTS: SECOND OPPORTUNITY (JULY): Those students who have not reached 4 out of 10 points in each of the main assessment sections, even if the overall addition is 5 or higher, will have to use the second opportunity (July). In an on-line scenario, it will comprise two parts: the final essay/project (60%) including an oral presentation which may be recorded; a written exam (40%, replacing course work) to be carried via Moodle on the official date of the exam; should there be (serious, certifiable) connectivity problems, the exam will be done orally (phone call). 5. Changes in bibliography/webgraphy - More on-line resources: short primary sources will be available in Moodle; as to secondary sources, there will be extra on-line resources (e.g. PDF excerpts, the teacher’s own materials, links to on-line library resources…).
