The subject of Modern Language I (Portuguese) is instrumental and essentially practical. The emphasis in the formative activities will be put in the active participation of the students to be able to reach the competences anticipated in this educational guide.
In general terms, the learning will be directed through the following set of techniques and actions:
- Master class with ICT support and collective discussion.
- The practice of written and oral expression in Portuguese language.
- Complete individual and group exercises, both written and oral.
- Carry out autonomous activities: notebook exercises, preparation of tests, readings, essays, searching for information on the Internet.
- Classroom exchanges (teacher-student, student-student).
- Grammar, written / oral, and written / oral 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
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Final presencial exam | 25 % | 6 | 0.24 | 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 28 |
| Four presencial written and oral comprehension and production and use of grammar and vocabulary tests | 50 % | 6 | 0.24 | 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 |

The correction of the activities and evaluation tests will take into account that a sufficient level of the competences has been achieved according to the expected learning outcomes that are established in this Teaching Guide.
The evaluation system will be organized into three modules:
1) Presencial written and oral comprehension and production as well as grammar and vocabulary tests.
2) Give a presencial oral presentation
3) Final presencial exam
The evaluation of the course will be continuous and will include the work done throughout the course, both the tests and the works delivered throughout the semester.
It will be considered as 'not evaluable' if the student has delivered less than 30% of the assignments of the course and has performed less than 30% of the tests. Therefore, if the student has done more than 30% of each part, it will be evaluated.
The re-evaluation will only be offered to those students who, having carried out a continuous evaluation, have suspended or not submitted some of the work (up to a maximum of 30% of the assigned work) and want to recover it. Some tasks cannot be repeated (participation in class, oral presentations, exercises done in class).
Plagiarism: The total and partial plagiarism of any of the exercises will automatically be considered a FAIL (0) of the plagiarized exercise. It is considered PLAGIARISM to copy from unidentified sources of a text, whether it is a single phrase or more, which is presented as someone's own production (this includes copying phrases or fragments from the Internet and adding them without modifications to the text that is presented as someone's own), and it is a serious offense.
PARTICULAR CASES: Lusophone students must meet the same assessment conditions as other students, even if the teacher instructs them not to attend class. The responsibility of the follow-up of the educational and evaluation activities falls exclusively to the student.
Single Assessment
This subject does not incorporate single assessment.
