BASIC COMPETENCE: CB1, CB2, CB3, CB4 e CB5
GENERAL COMPETENCE: CG1, CG8
Students will have theoretical classes (CLASES EXPOSTIVIAS), seminars (SESIONES INTERACTIVAS) and tutorials. In the theoretical sessions, the student will be introduced to the ideological, social and literary context of the period. The seminars will be devoted to oral and written critical commentaries in which the students are required to participate actively. In the tutorials the students will assess the work done and will have the chance to expose and clarify doubts.
Use of the VIRTUAL PLATFORM offered by the USC for teaching and studying purposes.
Both continuous assessment (40% of the global mark) and final test (60% of the global mark). Therefore, a participation in the different academic activities prescribed are very important.
Every single activity in which the student participates will be taken into account for the final mark.
All the students must submit the prescribed written activities to the teacher and/or any optional work. Otherwise, the student is renouncing the 40% of his/her global mark.
This applies both to June and to July.
Attendance to classes and active participation are compulsory and will be taken into account in the final assessment. We refer students to the Normativa de asistencia a clase nas ensinanzas adaptadas ao Espazo Europeo de Educación Superior (Consello de Goberno da USC do 25 de marzo de 2010).
Students who are officially exempt from attending lectures: final test 100%
Students who failed the subject in previous sittings will be allowed to choose between two options: a. final test 100%; b. continuous assessment 40% + final test 60%. If they choose the first option (a. final test 100%) they will have to inform the lecturer in the first two weeks of class. Otherwise the second option (b. continuous assessment 40% + final test 60%) will be applied.
Academic fraud is severely penalized, and we apply article 16, from the "Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións”.
Students are encouraged to spend an hour before each class revising the main points dealt with by the teacher in the previous session so as to make sure that they have understood what has been explained in class, to have the possibility of clarifying any doubts they may have and to be able to participate actively in the seminars. Occasionally, students are entitled to read at home literary pieces that will be commented on in the seminars and that exemplify the theoretical points explained in class.
The teachers advise their students to devote about three hours per week to prepare this subject -reading, activities, revision, etc.
Students are encouraged to attend and participate actively and regularly in class, to revise and to complete their notes weekly, and to work in groups.
More detailed information about the subject is included in the "Guía Docente e Material Didáctico da asignatura" that the students can check in the Campus Virtual.
