The final mark must be 5 or more to pass . Also 1.6 out of 4 in the exam, and 2.4 out of 6 in the continuous evaluation (textal analyses, written essay and oral presentation) are required. Those students that do not do commentaries in class, essays etc, will not have continuous evaluation marks enough even though they may do the essay, so they will have to recover at least 2.4 out of 6 points in the second opportunity examination. They may obtain 5 out of 5 in between the first opportunity exam (4) and the written essay (1), which is not easy to do, but they would not pass the subject yet because the minimum in continuous evaluation must be met. English is the only language used in class and exams. Mistakes must be avoided. Plagiarism is also forbidden. Borrowing ideas from the teacher and books is understandable, but students must try to do their own research. Their input is essential. When a student for whatever justified reason (illness, etc) cannot do the continuous evaluation pratices he or she must tell the teacher in advance, otherwise he or she will have to wait for the second opportunity evaluation to make up for such parts. Those students who attend and participate in the continuous assessment activities will be eventually considered "No Presentados" (absent from examination) only if they have done less than 25% of the required activities. Those students that have been given a dispensation must tell the teacher in advance, during the first two weeks of the course. They must write two essays (60 %) and then take the exam. In July the second opportunity evaluation takes place. Those students that have not done or passed the continuous evaluation parts will be given the chance to do so by doing the essays or commentaries necessary. A second 4-point exam is also done at that time for those that failed it earlier or did not take it. That is, the second (July) opportunity will consist of a 40% final exam and 60% activities or tests repeating or replacing the continuous assessment work. Such activities will be specified once the marks for the first opportunity have been published.
