The learning of this subject by the students is distributed as follows:

• Directed activities. These activities are divided into master classes and seminars and classroom practices led by the faculty, in which theoretical explanation is combined with discussion of all types of texts.
• Supervised activities. These tutorials are programmed by the teacher, dedicated to correcting and commenting on problems at different levels of literary analysis.
• Autonomous activities. These activities include both time devoted to individual study and production of papers and analytical comments written, as well as oral presentations.
• Evaluation activities. The evaluation of the subject will be carried out through written tests.

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.

Continuous assessment

To be eligible for a passing grade, it is mandatory to complete all the course readings and achieve a score of 5 or higher in the weighted average of the assessment activities. The evaluation of the course consists of three parts:

1. A text commentary or the development of a topic related to the subject of the course. The teacher will provide the content of this test on the first day of class, which will be carried out in a session dedicated to this activity. [20%].

2. A written test on the subject taught during the first half of the course [40%], which will cover the topics related to Enlightement and their corresponding readings.

3. A second written exam on the subject taught during the second half of the course [40%], which will cover the topics related to Romanticism and the corresponding readings.

Exchange students who wish to bring forward an exam must present the teacher with a written document from their home university justifying their request.

The written expression of the tests must be adequate. The student must write a well-structured speech, with complete, coherent and well-developed paragraphs. Faults (spelling, syntax, punctuation errors, unnecessary repetitions, Anglicisms, Catalanisms, etc.) will be deducted 0.25 points each; with more than ten faults, the test will be graded Fail.

The activities, practices and works presented in the course must be original and partial or total plagiarism of other people's materials published in any medium will not be admitted under any circumstances. The person enrolled in the course must make the authorship of all quotations and the use of other people's materials explicit, according to the uses of bibliographic documentation. In the event that the teacher asks the student for the sources used (annotated articles and books,diagrams, notes, etc.), the student must present them. The presentation of non-original material without adequately indicatingits origin or the inappropriate or incorrect use of the bibliography will automatically result in a grade of failure (0), with no possibility of recovery.

In the event that the student commits any type of irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of an evaluation act, this will be graded with a 0, regardless of the disciplinary procedure that may result. In the event that several irregularities are verified in the assessment acts of the same subject, the final grade for that subject will be a 0.

This subject allows the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies exclusively in the process of preparing the text commentary or development of the topic. The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to generate texts is not allowed. In case of resorting to this technology, the student must (i) identify the parts that have been generated with AI; (ii) specify the tools used; and (iii) include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered a lack of academic honesty and will result in the activity being assessed with a 0 and not being recoverable, or higher penalties in cases of severity.

At the time of each evaluation activity, the teacher will inform the students (Moodle) of the procedure and the date for the revision of the grades.

The student will be able to recover the subject as long as he/she fulfils the following requirements:

1. To have taken at least 2/3 of the assessment activities, that is, the two tests on syllabus and readings [40% + 40%].

2. To have obtained at least a 3.5 average in the continuous assessment of the course.

3. The commentary [20%] is not recoverable. If the student has not completed the text commentary, it will be graded with a zero in order to calculate the weighted average.

The result of the make-up test will replace the grade of the failed test to calculate the final grade of the subject.

A student who has not completed more than 30% of the assessment activities will be considered “Not evaluable”.

Single assessment

The date of the single assessment will be announced during the first days of the course on the subject’s Virtual Campus.

In order to pass the course, it is compulsory to have completed all the course readings.

1. A text commentary or the development of a topic related to the subject of the course. The teacher will provide the content of this test on the first day of class, which will be carried out in a session dedicated to this activity. [20%].

2. A written test on the subject taught during the first half of the course [40%], which will cover the topics related to Illustration and their corresponding readings.

3. A second written exam on the subject taught during the second half of the course [40%], which will cover the topics related to Romanticism and its corresponding readings.

The same recovery system will be applied as for continuous assessment.

For the rest of the considerations regarding the correctness of written expression, plagiarism, revision of tests, remediation and the grade of ‘Not evaluable’, the rules of continuous assessment will be applied.
