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 their mastery of the theoretical contents introduced in the D.E. classes (large groups) as well as 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 up 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 and criteria 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 activity or activities (depending on each student's case) which will be worth the remaining 50% of the grade and which will be due by the beginning of the final exam. For instance, students needing to make up for this entire percentage of the grade will be expected to turn in an individual, original 5-6 page literary interpretation and textual analysis of a topic that will be announced in due course. 
  • Students officially enrolled part-time who have been granted an official dispensation from attending classes will need to contact the teachers at the beginning of the semester and they 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.
  • Plagiarism in any activity will translate into a grade of "0" in this activity.
  • Every assignment has to be turned in in time and in the specified format in order to avoid a penalty of 25% on the grade obtained.
