By obtaining the minimum of credits in basic training subjects, students have demonstrated to have acquired the basic competences, hence they will be expected to be able to express themselves correctly orally and in writing. For this reason, any spelling and expression errors that may be committed will lead to a score decrease in the final grade.
Activities, practical sessions and papers submitted in the course must be original and under no circumstances will the total or partial plagiarism of third-party materials published on any medium be admitted. Any submission of non-original material without properly indicating its origin will automatically result in a failure rating (0).
It is also expected that students know the general rules of submission of an academic work. However, students could apply the specific rules that the teacher of the subject may indicate to them, if they deem it necessary.

The detailed calendar with the content of the different sessions will be available on the day of presentation of the subject. It will also be posted on the Virtual Campus where students can find a detailed description of the exercises and practices, the various teaching materials and any information necessary for the proper follow-up of the subject.
The learning of this subject by the students is distributed as follows:
Directed activities (35%). These activities are divided into master classes and seminars and classroom practices led by the faculty, in which theoretical explanation is combined with discussion of all types of texts and theatrical performances.
Supervised activities (10%). These tutorials are programmed by the teacher, dedicated to correcting and commenting on problems at different levels of literary analysis and representation.
Autonomous activities (50%). These activities include both time devoted to attending theatrical performances as well as individual study and production of reviews, papers and analytical comments written, as well as the preparation of oral presentations.
Evaluation activities (5%). The evaluation of the subject will be carried out through oral presentations and written tests.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The teacher will develop the contents as follows (with variations depending on the calendar schedule of the subject):
a) 1st part of the class. Development of syllabus.
b) 2nd part of the class. Analysis of the selected works (their theatrical representation will be attended): 1) text analysis sessions (according to the outline previously explained in class) and 2) commentary sessions on the representation.
On that basis, the teaching evaluation activities will be the following:
-Pondering of the "essays" (reviews) based on each of the selected works. (Percentage in the final grade: 50%)
-Critic of a freely chosen theatrical representation. (20%)
-Attendance (to class and to representations). (15%)
-Participation. (15%)
The students who don’t submit the works, don’t attend the representations and/or don’t participate regularly in the seminar work will be considered "Not evaluable". The revision of the works will be carried out as they are submitted.
The first two activities are re-evaluable.
Re-evaluation
Students will be entitled to the re-evaluation of the subject if their overall performance has been jointly evaluated, and whose weight is 2/3 of the total grade of the subject at least.
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
