Prerequisites
Since the student has demonstrated, by obtaining the credits corresponding to the basic training and compulsory subjects, having acquired the basic skills, they must be able to express themselves correctly orally and in writing. For this reason, any spelling and expression errors that may be made will lead to a decrease in the score in the final grade.
The activities, practices and works presented in the course must be original and under no circumstances will the total or partial plagiarism of external materials published in any medium be admitted. The eventual presentation of non-original material without adequately indicating its origin will automatically carry the suspense rating (0).
It is also considered that the student knows the general rules for the presentation of an academic work. However, you can apply the specific rules that the teacher of the subject may indicate, if you deem it necessary.

Assessment
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ARTICLE OR BOOK REVIEW OR COMENTARY TEXT ABOUT A PROSE WORK OF SPANISH GOLDEN AGEDE ORO | 25 | 17 | 0.68 | 3, 13, 8, 4, 9, 14, 5, 7 |

The evaluation of the subject will be carried out based on the completion of a series of activities in which the following aspects will be assessed:
- The assimilation of theoretical contents,
- the practical application of the contents and
- Attendance and participation in class and tutories.
For the evaluation, the following will be taken into account three pieces of evidence that will consist of:
(1) SUMMARY ON AN AUTHOR OR WORK OF PROSE FROM THE GOLDEN CENTURY of 3 to 5 pages (25%);
(2) a REVIEW OR COMMENT ON AN ARTICLE OR A TEXT RELATING TO THE PROSE OF THE GOLDEN AGE of 3 to 5 pages (25%);
and (3) MONOGRAPHIC WORK ON A SPECIFIC ASPECT OF AN AUTHOR, TEXT OR PHENOMENON RELATIVE TO THE PROSE OF THE GOLDEN AGE of 10 to 15 pages (50%).
These pieces of evidence may be thematically compatible with each other, but not repeat entire fragments.
The teacher will establish minimum requirements from which the student will be able to pass it.
To pass, all activities must be carried out and delivered within the established period. The minimum grade that will be required to pass each of the practices and consider it in the average must be equal to or greater than 4 points.
It will be considered "Not presented" when the student does not perform any of the activities. The elaboration of an activity supposes, then, the student's will to be evaluated in the subject and, therefore, his presentation to the evaluation and corresponding call.
It will be possible to opt for recovery only in the event that the student has not carried out or has failed activities whose percentage does not exceed 35% of the total evaluation. In no case can the final work in the recovery be repeated.
Making mistakes in spelling, vocabulary and syntax will have a penalty of 0.25 on the final grade for each of the activities.
Total or partial plagiarism implies an evaluation of 0 in the corresponding evidence or, if recurring in more than one evidence, of the matter, as well as a possible sanctioning file after informing the Degree Coordination.
On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.
Single evaluation
Students who take this type of evaluation will have to hand in the two activities (which we will refer to later) on the day of the final exam, in addition to taking this test together with the rest of their classmates. The activities that must be presented on the day of the final exam are
First activity: writing a short essay (about 5 pages) on one of the required readings considered in its entirety. The activity will have 25% of the total grade.
Second activity: writing another essay on any other work of Poetry and Prose from the Golden Age (a story by Castillo Solórzano, for example), based on the guidelines that the teacher indicates at the time. Like the previous activity, this one will also be worth 25% of the final grade.
Final exam: five-question test on the subject matter of the subject. The exam will count 50% of the final grade.
In the case of reevaluations, the same procedure will be followed if the entire subject has to be recovered. If it is only a part, the activity not passed will be delivered on the day of the reevaluation or the final exam will be taken.
