The course is delivered using an active methodology, based on student participation and the shared construction of literary knowledge. Each student's preparatory work—based on readings, textual commentaries, bibliographical materials and resources provided via the Virtual Campus—will form the starting point for the face-to-face sessions and for the analysis and discussion activities.

The classes will combine the presentation of core content with practical activities in textual interpretation, comparative reading and critical debate. In a hybrid format, and depending on the objectives of each session, methodologies such as problem-based learning, the flipped classroom and collaborative work will be incorporated, especially in the analysis of translated medieval texts and the study of the relationships between the different European literary traditions.

The classroom is conceived as a space for scholarly discussion and the exchange of ideas, where individual work and participation in the class group will be combined. A critical approach to literary texts will be encouraged, taking into account both their historical and cultural contexts and the processes of transmission, transformation and reception that have shaped medieval European literature.

The student will be required to maintain continuous and active engagement with the course, both in preparing the readings and in participating in the proposed activities and class discussions.

Regular use of the Virtual Campus will be required, as this tool will provide teaching materials, readings, bibliographic guidance and any information related to the course's development.

CLASSROOM RULES

Classes will start promptly.

15 minutes of one class, within the timetable set by the institution/programme, will be reserved for students to complete the teaching staff performance and module evaluation surveys.

ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE: The competences of this subject will be assessed through written tests, individual and group work, text commentaries and oral presentations.

-Paper submission module: A minimum of two papers will be required in this module. Results will value 45% of the final mark.

-Module for presentations of texts in the classroom: 25%.

-Module of written tests: 30%.

At the time of each assessment task, students will be informed through Moodle about the procedure and the date of the review of results.

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.

ABSENT: Students will be considered absent if they have completed less than 30% of the work assigned during the course and 30% less of the tests. Therefore, if they have done more than 30% of each part, they will be assessed.

REMEDIATION: Students are required to have been awarded marks previously in a set of activities that score at least 2/3 of the total mark. Only students with an average mark equal or higher than 3.5 will be eligible for remediation. Activities such as oral presentations, group work, or those related to daily teaching may not be eligible for remediation.

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 thesame subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject. Total and partial plagiarism of any of the exercises will automatically be considered a FAIL. Plagiarism means deliberately or accidentally using someone else’s work, whether a single sentence or more, as if it were your own. This includes copying sentences or whole paragraphs from digital documents on the Internet and it can have very serious consequences, which is why it is important to follow good academic practices and to reference your work properly.

This subject allows the use of AI technologies exclusively for support tasks such as bibliographic or content-based searches, text correction or translations, where applicable.In the case of subjects in a Modern Languages degree, use of translation must be specificallyauthorised by the teacher. Other specific situations  may be contemplated, as deemed appropriate by the teacher.

The student must clearly (i) identify which parts have been generated using AI technology; (ii) specify the tools used; and (iii) include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and final outcome of the activity.

Lack of transparency regarding the use of AI in the assessed activity will be considered academic dishonesty; the corresponding grade may be lowered, or the work may even be awarded a zero. In cases of greater infringement, more serious action may be taken.

Single assessment

The student must carry out the Directed Activities (minimum two) that are indicated in the Methodology section of this Teaching Guide, and two other types of evidence that accredit the achievement of the objectives and learning outcomes established in this subject:

-The Directed Activities will account for 45% of the final grade and, as indicated in this Teaching Guide, there will be a minimum of two.

-Two more evidences will be added: Reading Control of the proposed works (one or two throughout the course), which will represent 25% of the weight of the grade, and a Final Test which will have the remaining 30%.

In order to take advantage of the single assessment it will be necessary to request it through the form that will be available.

The same assessment method as continuous assement will be used.

Erasmus

Erasmus students who request to advance an exam must present the teacher with a written document from their home university justifying their request.
