Final exam: an essay, a textual commentary (both on any of the 8 texts) and a short multiple choice test on data provided in the lectures or seminars through the course, including historical data.
(50%; that is, 5 points out of 10).
NOTE: you need to get a minimum of 2 out of 5 (4 out of 10) to sum this mark to the continuous evaluation mark. |

Students may present a brief essay orally in class so that a debate may be established later. The subject will be some aspect of the 8 texts that are to be read. The oral presentation should take about 8-10 minutes. The presentation, if possible (obviously there is not time enough for all students to do it), is voluntary, and the mark will replace the worst commentary or textual analysis done in class. |

In this subject, what is evaluated is the student´s knowledge of the history of English literature and his/her literary competence at analysing the 8 texts of the corpus using basic literary skills. Analysis is NOT paraphrasis. The final average mark must be 5 or more to pass . Also 2 out of 5 in the exam, and 2 out of 5 in the continuous evaluation are required. Those students that do not do commentaries in class and/or the tests have no continuous evaluation marks, so they will have to recover at least two out of 5 points in the second opportunity examination in July. They may obtain 5 out of 5 in the first opportunity exam (not easy to do), but they would not pass the subject yet. 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. We may use "Turnitin" to check essays, exams , whatever, in order to detect wrong citations, plagiarism or any other type of fraud. Should this occur, the rules for plagiarism will be applied. (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.
Any plagiarized exercise or test will result
in a failing grade (0) in this subject in accord with article 11, section 4b,
of the "Regulamento disciplinar do estudantado da UDC":
Cualificación de suspenso na convocatoria en que se
cometa a falta e respecto da materia en que se
cometese: o/a estudante será cualificado con “suspenso” (nota
numérica 0) na convocatoria correspondente do curso académico,
tanto se a comisión da falta se produce na primeira oportunidade
como na segunda. Para isto, procederase a modificar a súa
cualificación na acta de primeira oportunidade, se fose necesario. Those students that cannot or do not wish to do an oral presentation should not worry. It will not affect the assessment. 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 30% of the required activities and have not taken the exam. Otherwise,they will figure as fail even if they do no do the first opportunity exam. The same criteria for July. Those students that have been given a dispensation must tell the teacher in advance, during the first two weeks of the course.Students who have been granted exemption,as specified in the university regulations, will be assessed according to thecriteria applied to the July opportunity.Students sitting the December exam (final exam broughtforward) will be assessed according to the criteria specified for the July opportunity. 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 5 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 50% final exam, 20% the tests (when not done or failed earlier) and 30% activities repeating or replacing (in the case of class attendance) the continuous assessment work. Such activities will be specified once the marks for the first opportunity have been published. For instance, four tests similar to those done during the course will be done on the day of the exam, and a textual commentary or analysis similar to those done during the course.Diversity: This module can be adapted to students who need support for their particular situation (physical,visual, auditory, cognitive, learning process, or related to mental health). If necessary, students should contact the services available in UDC/in their school or faculty, or the Unidad de Atención a la Diversidad (ADI) at the beginning of each academic semester in the timeframeofficially established (https://www.udc.es/cufie/adi/apoioalumnado/);alternatively, they can contact the ADI tutor in the Faculty of Philology atthe following address: pat.filoloxia@udc.gal ). -In accordance
with the various regulations governing university teaching, it is
necessary to incorporate a gender perspective into this subject. This includes,
among other measures, the use of non-sexist language, bibliographies that are
inclusive from a gender perspective, and encouraging participation from all
students in class, regardless of their gender.
-We will pay particular attention to identifying
and addressing sexist prejudices and attitudes. We will actively work towards
the modification of this environment and the promotion of values of respect and
equality.
-Our efforts will
focus on detecting cases of gender discrimination and implementing appropriate
actions to rectify such cases.
