The competences of this subject will be evaluated by means of an examination and of individual or collaborative works. The evaluation system is organized in 4 types of activities or modules, each of which will have a specific weight assigned in the final grade:
Module of attendance and participation, with a global weight of 5 %
Module of oral presentations, with a global weight of 15% (each student will have to analyze a journalistic, theoretical or critical text)
Module of written tests, with a global weight of 50% (a final exam on the subject)
Work delivery module, which will evaluate an essay with a global weight of 30%
The dates of the different assessment activities will be communicated to the students on the first day of class.
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.
The recovery system provides that different tests can be performed according to the student's learning needs, with the aim of recovering at least 50% of the activities carried out.To participate in the recovery the students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities whose weight equals to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject, and must have achieved overall a rating between 3.5 and 4.9. The maximum recovery note is 5.
A 5 is needed for the final pass. The student will receive the grade of "Not assessable" as long as he/she has not delivered more than 30% of the assessment activities.
In the event that the student conducts any irregularity that can lead to a significant variation of the qualification of an evaluation act, this evaluation act will be qualified with 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that can be instructed. In caseThat there are several irregularities in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade of this subject will be 0. Likewise, in this subject 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 will be graded with a 0.
Single assessment
It will consist of three activities:
Work: critical anthology of texts by an autor of the course topics (30%)
Oral commentary on a literary article (20%)
Written test about the course topics (50%)
The date of the single assessment will be communicated to students at the start of the course.
The conditions for approving the subject and those for the reassessment of single assessment students are the same as those indicated for continuous assessment students.
Throughout the course, a more complete bibliography will be provided through the virtual campus, especially about the authors and publications of the subject.
