Assessment comments
  • In this subject, what is evaluated is the student´s literary competence at analysing texts using various literary perspectives. A general knowledge of the literary schools is also valued, but to a lesser degree.
  • The final 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, essays etc, have no continuous evaluation marks, so they will have to recover at least two out of 5 points in the second opportunity examination. 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. 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.
  • 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 and 50% activities repeating or replacing the continuous assessment work. Such activities will be specified once the marks for the first opportunity have been published.
