Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Directed discussion A2 A6 A7 A9 A11 A15 B4 B5 B7 B8 B10 C2 C4 C7 Regular attendance will be worth up to 5%, but the student’s daily commitment to her/his learning will be valued up to 20%. To this end, the student’s active contribution to and performance in both oral and written, individual and group assignments will be taken into account, as well as the attention given to professors’ and other students’ explanations. 20
Supervised projects A1 A2 A3 A6 A7 A9 A10 A11 A15 B1 B2 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 B10 C2 C4 C7 In this category we include all those activities of individual character or developed in groups both in class and at home which are susceptible of being evaluated for the final mark: summaries, analyses of texts, reviews, etc. They will take place, mainly, in the classes of T.G.R., and will be carefully supervised. 30
Mixed objective/subjective test A1 A2 A3 A6 A7 A9 A11 A15 B3 B4 B7 B10 Students will take a final exam in which they will need to demonstrate that they are competent with the theoretical contents introduced in the D.E. classes (large groups) as well as with the skills practised in every class, particularly D.I. (mid-size group) and T.G.R. (small group). This exam will consist of two parts (each worth 50% of the grade): I) short questions (definitions of critical terms and periods, identification of excerpts from the texts studied, etc); II) well-structured written analysis/interpretation of a text (from the reading list) following the guidelines studied throughout the semester.
In order to pass the subject, students must obtain a minimum of 4 points out of 10 (1.75 or more out of 5 in each of the two parts). No other grade from any other assesment component in the course will be added to the exam grade unless these minimum requirements are met.

Assessment comments
  • A grade of "Non Presentado" (Absent) will be obtained by not attending the exam and/or by completing less than 50% of the coursework.
  • The second opportunity of assesment (in July) will consist of two sections: 1) a written exam (with identical design andcriteria to those in the first opportunity) that will evaluate the command over the contents seen throughout the course and that will be worth 50% of the grade; 2) written activities (to be specified after the first opportunity) which will be worth the remaining 50% of the grade and are due by the beginning of the final exam.
  • Students officially enrolled part-time who have been granted an official dispensation from attending classes, as stipulated in the regulations of this University, will need to contact the teachers at the beginning of the semester in order to plan, in each specific, individual situation, the necessary adjustments with regards to the assesment of "Directed discussion" and "Supervised projects".
  • Plagiarism in any activity will translate into a grade of "0" in this activity.
  • Every assignment has to beturned in in time and in the specified format in order to avoid a penalty of 25% on the grade obtained.
