Prerequisites

By obtaining the minimum of credits in basic training subjects, students have demonstrated to have acquired the basic competences and they will be able to express themselves 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, 0,25 less for each mistake. 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. A plagiarized work can not be reassessed.

Objectives and Contextualisation

The aim of this subject is to characterised the main dialectal varieties of Spanish with particular attention to the origin, to the historical and social conditioning, and to the linguistic characteristics.

Acquisition of the analysis methodology of the dialectal variation is also taken into account.

Methodology

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.

Supervised activities (10%). These tutorials are programmed by the teacher, dedicated to correcting and commenting on problems at different levels of linguistic analysis.

Autonomous activities (50%). These activities include both time devoted to individual study and analytical comments written, as well as oral presentations.

Assessment activities (5%). The assessment of this subject will be taken by 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.

Assessment

- Class attendance will be taken into account.

- Completion of 2 exams (30% + 30%).

- Completion of 1 course work (40%).

- All three assessment tests are compulsory.

- If a student takes any or one of the tests, they will be considered non-evaluable.

- If a student only takes two assessment tests, they will be considered suspended.

- The recovery of the subject is compulsory when a grade lower than 5 has been obtained. The course work is not recoverable.

- Those students who have obtained a grade below 3.5 in the average mark cannot recover.

- At the time of each assessment activity, the teacher will inform the students (through Moodle) of the procedure of revision the exams and the date which they will have the marks.

- 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.

PLAGIARISM

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.
