This course provides an overview of Catalan poetry from the last quarter of the fourteenth century to the mid fifteenth, with emphasis on concurrent European trends (in French, Italian and Spanish), as well a close reading of a selection of Ausiàs March's works. Analysis of the manuscript chansonniers and observation of critical editions are also important issues.
At the end of the course, students are expected (a) to have a general knowledge of all major developments related to medieval Catalan poetry, and (b) to have acquired a close acquaintance with the many facets of March's oeuvre, so that (c) they are able to comment on any of the poems included in the selection, showing literary acumen and a reasonably good command of medieval Catalan.

Lectures will provide students with the historical context of the best medieval Catalan poets. This course, however, is based on reading practice at the classroom (online if necessary). Such practice will focus on (a) translating the texts into modern Catalan, (b) commenting on their sources, and (c) discussing their interpretation from the viewpoint of comparative literature, women writers included.
The calendar and compulsory readings will be available on the first day of class. Students will find all information on the Virtual Campus: the description of the activities, teaching materials, and any necessary information for the proper follow-up of the subject. In case of a change of teaching modality for health reasons, teachers will make readjustments in the schedule and methodologies.
Within the regular calendar of classes, 15' will be rserved for the students to fill in a questionnarie in order to assess both the teacher and the course unit concerned.
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 is continuous. A minimum grade of 5 is required to pass the course.
Students will be assessed by means of (a) written exams, (b) individual essays, and (c) oral presentations (in the classroom or via Teams etc.). The final qualification will result from the following proportion: (a) 50%, (b) 40%, (c) 10%.
For any assessment activity, students will receive (via Moodle) prior notice of the date and all relevant information concerning their right to review any assessment item with their teacher.
To opt for reassessment students must have been assessed of at least 2/3 of the overall input, and must have obtained a final mark between 3.5 and 4.9. Reassessment may include a written exam and/or submitting again an essay which had not reached the pass mark (5). The reassessment grade will not be higher than 5.
Students who have submitted less than 30% of the course assignments will be considered Not Assessable.
In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not allowed in any of its phases. Any work that includes fragments generated with AI will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases.
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, wikisand/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
One-day assessment
On the same day as in the continuous assessment (January, wk 2/3), students must sit a written exam (50%) and submit two essays (25% + 25%). Reassessment will follow the same procedure as with the continuous assessment.
