Methodology
The learning of this subject by the students is distributed as follows:
- Directed activities. 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. These tutorials are programmed by the teacher, dedicated to correcting and commenting on problems at different levels of literary analysis.
- Autonomous activities. These activities include both time devoted to individual study and production of papers and analytical comments written, as well as oral presentations.
- Evaluation activities. The evaluation of the subject will be carried out through 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
In order to pass the course, it is compulsory to have completed all the course readings.
The evaluation of the course will be based on the following activities (the specific weight of each of them in the final grade is indicated in brackets):
1) The philological annotation of a fragment of one of the novels studied [20%].
2) A written test in the middle of the semester on the first two readings of the course [30%].
3) A written test at the end of the semester on the last two readings of the course [30%].
4) A paper on one of the topics related to the syllabus [20%] to be provided by the teacher at the beginning of the course.
In terms of written expression, the student must write paragraphs with full, coherent and well-developed content. Faults (spelling, syntax, punctuation errors, unnecessary repetitions, Anglicisms, Catalanisms, etc.) will be deducted 0.25 points each. With more than ten faults, the exam will be graded Fail.
The activities, practices and work presented in the course must be original and under no circumstances will total or partial plagiarism of other people's material published in any medium be allowed. The student must make the authorship of all quotations and the use of other people's materials explicit, according to the uses of bibliographic documentation. The eventual presentation of non-original material without adequately indicating its origin will automatically lead to a grade of failure (0), with no possibility of recovery. In the event that the student carries out any type of irregularity (plagiarism, non-indicated use of AI...) that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of a specific act of evaluation, this will be graded with 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may result from it. In the event that several irregularities are verified in the assessment acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0.
The review of the tests will take place in a previously agreed interview with the teacher, who will inform the students (Moodle) of the date of the grade review.
Students may resit the course if they fail two of the four tests and have a minimum overall mark of 3.5. The result of the recovery tests will replace the grade of the failed ones to calculate the final grade of the course.
It will be considered "Not evaluable" when the student does not take up to two of the four tests or activities. The completion of two activities implies the student's willingness to be assessed in the subject.
Single assessment
In order to pass the course, it is compulsory to have completed all the readings of the course. The evaluation will include the delivery of an exercise consisting of: the annotation of a fragment of one of the novels studied in the course [20%]; a written test on the first two readings of the course [30%]; a written test on the last two readings of the course [30%]; a paper on one of the topics related to the syllabus [20%] that will be provided by the teacher at the beginning of the course.
The same assessment method as continuous assessment will be used.
For the rest of the considerations regarding the correctness of written expression, plagiarism, revision of tests and the grade of "Not assessable", the rules of continuous assessment will be applied.
Assessment Activities

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Delivery of paper | 20% | 0 | 0 | 1, 3, 4, 14, 7, 12, 11, 13, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 2 |
