It is recommended that the student has previously attended the subject "Spanish Language: Unity and Diversity".
By obtaining the minimum of credits in basic training subjects, students have demonstrated to have acquired the basic competences and they will be able to express themselves orally and in writing.
For this reason, any spelling and expression errors that may be committed will lead to a score decrease in the final grade.
It is also expected that students know the general rules of submission of an academic work. However, students could apply the specific rules that the teacher of the subject may indicate to them, if they deem it necessary.
The subject of "Morphology of Spanish" has as its fundamental objective to offer a general vision of the study of words.
At the end of the course, the student must be able to:
Lesson 1. The morphology: Units of analysis
Lesson 2.- Inflectional Morphology
Lesson 3.- Word Formation
Lesson 4.- Main Word Classes: nouns, adjectives and verbs

In order to achieve the aforementioned objectives, theoretical explanations will be combined by the teacher with the practical realization of exercises in the classroom and comments on the compulsory readings.
The learning of this subject is distributed as follows:
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.
Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Practical evaluation activity | 40% | 1.5 | 0.06 | 6, 8, 18, 7, 10, 13, 11, 9, 15, 5 |
Theoretical and practical test | 40% | 1.5 | 0.06 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 18, 12, 9, 14 |
Theoretical test | 20% | 1.5 | 0.06 | 17, 16, 19 |
The faculty will evaluate this subject on an ongoing basis (except for students who choose single assessment).
The evaluation of the subject will be carried out, therefore, starting from the realization of three activities / tests in which the following aspects will be evaluated:
The three activities/tests to be carried out are the following:
The final grade, once all the notes have been added and the percentages indicated above applied, must be equal to or greater than 5.
The completion of spelling, expression, lexicon and syntax will have a penalty of 0.25 each, without limit, on the final grade in the activities and exams. Repeated faults also discount.
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 processthat 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.
This subject entirely prohibits the use of AI technologies in all of its activities. Any submitted work that contains content generated using AI will be considered academic dishonesty; the corresponding grade will be awarded a zero, without the possibility of reassessment. In cases of greater infringement, more serious action may be taken.
The first day of class will be informed of the dates of each test/activity and this information will be available in the Moodle classroom from the beginning of the course. Erasmus students who request to advance an exam will have to present to the teacher a written document from their home university justifying their request.
Not assessed/not submitted
Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 30% of the assessment items.
Re-assessment
All evaluation activities are recoverable. However, the student will lose the right toreassess if the averageof the tests performed with the corresponding percentage isless than 3.5 points. If the student has the right to reassessment, he can only reassess at most two tests.
Review procedure
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 assessment
Students who take the single assessment will have to carry out the following activities:
Students must complete and hand in the activities on the established date within the assigned period. The teacher will indicate the exact date through Moodle.
The same assessment method as continuous assessment will be used.
The professor will indicate during the course the mandatory and recommended readings for each item of the agenda.
