Language
The teaching methodology is based on the problem approach method and is carried out with grammar exercises and communicative exercises. In the theoretical aspect of the classes, the learning is based on problems or the exposure of contents through the presentation or explanation of the teacher; in the practical aspect, in the resolution of exercises, seminars, presentation of individual works, etc.
Students will have to write essays and summaries at home, which will then be discussed in class; exercises in lexical comprehension, text selection, vocabulary acquisition, problem solving, will be carried out.
Translation
The classes will have a theoretical part: the teacher will explain the main problems raised in the translation of the texts studied, and a practical and participatory part in which students will have to present their proposals for translating the texts prepared at home. The different translations worked on at home will also be commented on, debated and shared in class, and exercises will be carried out (lexical comprehension, selection of translations, vocabulary acquisition, etc.).
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.

Review
When publishing final marks prior to recording them on students' transcripts, the lecturer will provide written notification of a date and time for reviewing assessment activities. Students must arrange reviews in agreement with the lecturer.
Missed/failed assessment activities
Students may retake assessment activities they have failed or compensate for any they have missed, provided that those they have actually performed account for a minimum of 66.6% (two thirds) of the subject's final mark and that they have a weighted average mark of at least 3.5.
The lecturer will inform students of the procedure involved, in writing, when publishing final marks prior to recording them on transcripts. The lecturer may set one assignment per failed or missed assessment activity or a single assignment to cover a number of such activities. Under no circumstances may an assessment activity worth 100% of the final mark be retaken or compensated for. In case of retaking, maximum grade will be 5 (Pass).
Classification as "not assessable"
In the event of the assessmentactivities a student has performed accounting for just 25%or less of the subject's final mark, their work will be classified as "not assessable" on their transcript.
Misconduct in assessment activities
Students who engage in misconduct (plagiarism, copying, personation, etc.) in an assessment activity will receive a mark of “0” for the activity in question. In the case of misconduct in more than one assessment activity, the student involved will be given a final mark of “0” for the subject. Assessment activities in which irregularities have occurred (e.g. plagiarism, copying, impersonation) are excluded from recovery.
Single assessment
Single assessment will include a minimum of three assessment activities of different typology, as stated in the evaluation guidelines.
