Activities and Methodology
| Title | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type: Directed | |||
| Grammar | 40 | 1.6 | 10, 3 |
| Type: Supervised | |||
| Audiovisuals | 20 | 0.8 | 3, 14 |
| Oral expression | 47 | 1.88 | 10, 3, 14 |
| Type: Autonomous | |||
| Writting and reading | 40 | 1.6 | 10, 3, 14 |
The methodology provides, as a basic tool for the learning of vocabulary and the implementation of grammar, the gradual introduction of Greek as a vehicular language in the classroom.
Note: 15 minutes of a class will be reserved, within the timetable established by the centre/title, for the complementation by the students of the assessment surveys of the teaching staff's performance and the assessment ofthe 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.
Assessment
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Final exam | 50% | 2 | 0.08 | 10, 4, 9, 3, 2, 7 |
| Literary translation practice | 20% | 0.5 | 0.02 | 10, 4, 9, 8, 7, 3, 2, 1, 11, 14, 13 |
| Oral exposition | 20% | 0.5 | 0.02 | 10, 4, 5, 9, 6, 8, 3, 2, 7, 1, 14, 13, 11, 12 |
| Regular participation | 10% | 0 | 0 | 10, 5, 6, 9, 4, 8, 3, 7, 2, 1 |
There will be four evaluation records:
- Literary translation practice (20%)
- Written evidence at the end of the course (40%)
- Oral presentation during the course (20%)
- Regular participation (10%)
This subject does not incorporate single assessment.
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.
In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
Other considerations
- Erasmus students must submit a document from their University in order to request a different exam date.
- 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.
- To take part in the retake, students must have been previously assessed through a set of activities that account for at least 2/3 of the total grade.
- Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 30% of the assessment items.
- AI will be used only for activities planned on a specific dates.
