Students will be divided into three groups according to their level of knowledge. Students may not change groups without the express authorization of the teachers responsible for the subject. These changes, in the event that there are any, will be produced as a general rule at the initiative of the teaching team. The possible requests of the students in this sense will be attended but submitted to strictly academic criteria, and therefore those non-binding. The decision of the teachers will be unappealable.

The professorat will dedicate time to: The professor and the students will dedicate time to:

1) Read and understand texts by sight.

2) Read, understand, translate and comment on a selection of texts.

3) Correct the exercises and texts prepared individually by the students.

4) Work specifically on vocabylary through practical activities

5) Explain grammatical content.

6) Explain literary, cultural, historical or social content that helps to contextualize the text.

The student will have to be responsible for preparing the exercises that are proposed and for doing the compulsory reading.
Since numerous research studies attest that reading on paper improves the comprehension and retention of contents, while allowing for a better critical reflection, we highly recommend to print the materials on the CV, and to complete activities and exercises on paper.

On the other hand, the use of digital devices (tablets or laptops) and mobiles in the classroom are restricted to teaching activities, and always under the professor's consent.

The student is recommended to use a university dictionary (or several) for the preparation of the texts, and to do without the schooldictionary that he has been using until now.

This course does not provide for the single-assessment system.

The date for reviewing the provisional final grade and the resit examination grade will be announced on the course's Virtual Campus.

Students are responsible for checking the official grade report before it is finalised in order to ensure that no errors have been made in the recording of their grades.

VI. PLAGIARISM

Any irregularity committed by a student that may result in a significant alteration of the grade awarded for an assessment activity will lead to that activity being graded 0 (Fail), without prejudice to any disciplinary proceedings that may be initiated.

Failure to disclose the use of AI in assessed work will be regarded as a breach of academic integrity and will result in the activity being graded 0 (Fail), with no possibility of resubmission or resit. More serious sanctions may be imposed in cases of severe misconduct.
