Since the students have duely given evidence of having acquired the basic competences of the subject, they will need to be able to express properly their ideas both in oral and in written form. Spelling mistakes will be marked down. Coursework will have to be original work and plagiarism either partial or total will be penalised with a failure (0) in the final assessment. The students are expected to be acquainted with the basic rules of academic language and presentation, and also follow the instructions and conventions indicated by the teacher.
The course is a general introduction to the study of literary works from a theoretical and comparative perspective, and it makes available to its students a selection of the most appropriate concepts and procedures for the analysis and interpretation of the literary text mainly in an immanent sense, namely, regardless of its historical circumstance and national differences. The reflection on problems related to the definition of the nature of the literary work will be completed, in the second part of the program, by a characterization of its main generic varieties (poetry, narrative and drama), and a study of the conventions that in each case determine their reading, understanding and evaluation.
I. LITERARY STUDIES AND THEIR DISCIPLINES
0. An aesthetic approach to the literary phenomenon
1. The place of theory of literature and comparative literature in literary research.
II. THE LITERARY SYSTEM
2. The notion of "literature".
3. Literary communication: author, text, reader, context.
4. Intertextuality.
5. Literary genres.
III. GENRES, FORMS AND TOPICS
6. Poetry
7. Narrative.
8. Drama.
IV. THE LITERARY TRADITION AND THE CANON
9. The "classics." Tradition and modernity. The notion of canon.
The subject combines the format of the master class, always on the basis of the theoretical texts, with the seminar to discuss creation texts, in which the student's collaboration is necessary. Periodically, students will be invited to perform several exercises (from the review to the monographic work) on certain aspects of the syllabus.
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 literary analysis.
Autonomous activities (50%). These activities include both time devoted to individual study and production of papers and analytical comments written, as well as oral presentations.
Evaluation activities (5%). The evaluation of the subject will be carried out through written tests.
15 minutes of a class will be set aside, within the calendar established by the center/degree, for students to complete the evaluation surveys of the teachers' performance and the evaluation of the subject.
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.

According to a continuous conception of evaluation, students must adopt the skills achievement of the course through the elaboration of two mandatory final exams with a proportional value of 40% each: a theoretical one, with questions of a thematic nature, and another practical, focused on the commentary of specific texts.
The remaining 20% may be obtained as a result of a practical, written, literary analysis and interpretation exercise (genre to be determined), which will be requested mid-semester. Also, the final grade may be susceptible to an upward correction, as long as the student has actively participated in the sessions of the course. The student who does not take any of the two mandatory final tests will be considered "Not evaluable".
Only students who have obtained the minimum grade that the teacher must determine at the beginning of the course and have previously submitted the two mandatory final exams will have the right to be re-evaluated in the subject (which will take place at the end of the semester and will consist of a single test).
The revision of the exercises will take place in the teacher's office, after convening a date and time. Students who having submitted the exercises requested throughout the semester, do not attend any of the two final exams, will be considered as "not evaluable".
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.
On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle or e-mail) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.
