LECTURES (Docencia Expositiva): 32 h. (2h/per week). Students will be introduced to theoretical concepts, authors, literary background and movements

SEMINARS (Docencia Interactica): 16 h. (1 h/per week). Students will focus on particular texts (agreed on advance)

Tutorials: 3 h. Organization of the different work teams to prepare oral

presentations on assigned topics for seminar sessions. During tutorials students (in teams) will have the opportunity to ask questions concerning these practical tasks as well as about any other aspect of the course (written exam, course contents and objectives, etc.). Part of this tutorial activity will be carried out through the virtual platform by means of tools and chats specifically created for each working team.

A

ATTENDANCE TO ALL SESSIONS AND ACTIVE CONTRIBUTIONS TO SEMINARS: 30%

TUTORIALS, FINAL WRITTEN EXAMINATION: 70% (students must obtain at least half this value: 35%)

These criteria will apply to course assessment both in May and July

Attendance to lectures and/or seminar will not be required ONLY to those students who failed the subject in the previous academic year, but had systematically attended all the course sessions.

If a student does not attend the seminar session in which he/she was supposed to do a presentation on an assigned topic with no justification, he/she will be graded 0

and that mark will add to the rest of his/her grades for attendance to all sessions and active contributions to seminars when calculating the average that makes up the 30 per cent of the final grade.

Students exempt from attending the course sessions: the 100 per cent of the final grade will be assessed by final written examination.

IMPORTANT: Those students whose absences (either from lectures, seminars, or both) AMOUNT TO 3 will lose the attendance and seminar percentage (30%) and will therefore ADD '0' to their examination grade (70%). Absences must necessarily be notified WITHIN TEN DAYS, and no notifications will be accepted after that date.
