None. However, all students are expected to have a good command of orthography and basic grammar rules of Catalan language. Failing this, they are advised to revise them on their own all along the academic year.
This is an all-round-the-year course (one session per week), both for first-year students of Catalan Philology (single honours) and second-year students of combined degrees. It will provide practical training on how to read and produce scholarly texts, including writing skills, as well as tools and resources for essay writing that will prove indispensable throughout the degree.
For further details, see the Guia Docent of Fonaments de filologia catalana (Filologia Catalana: estudis de literatura i lingüística).
Lectures will provide students with grammar tuition (based on a dossier which includes the most frequent errors) and abundant practical exercises to be solved in the classroom or at home. Essay-writing practice will rely on a selection of texts (included in the dossier) which deal with topics both related to language and literature. Assessment of essays will also take into account the student’s command of Catalan grammar.
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.

Students will be assessed by means of oral presentations and debate (10%), exercises and essays (30%), a mid-course exam (10%) and a final test (50%). All assignements must be submitted in due course.
Students will receive (via Moddle) prior notice of the date and all relevant information concerning their right to review any assessment item with their teacher.
Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 30% of the assessment items.
Previous evaluation of a set of activities equivalent to two thirds of the total value of the assignments, and a final mark between 3.5 and 4.9 are required to opt for reassessment. Students will be reassessed by means of a synthesis test of the two previous exams. Students who pass the reassessment will obtain a 5.0 mark.
Any impropriety (such as plagiarism) that may be conducive to substantially alter the assessment of any item will result in a 0 mark for any such item, irrespectively of other disciplinary measures. Were such improper practices to take place repeatedly, the final mark for the subject concerned will be 0.
In the event that 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.
