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.

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

In order to be eligible for a pass, students are required to complete all the course readings.

Assessment for the subject will be based on the following activities:

• The philological annotation of a passage from one of the poems studied (10%).
• A written test halfway through the semester on the first two course readings (first mid-term exam) (40%).
• A written test at the end of the semester on the final two course readings (second mid-term exam) (40%).
• Optional activity. Class participation (10%). This will take the form of one of the following activities, always agreed in advance with the lecturer:
• A brief oral commentary on a relevant aspect of the texts analysed in class.
• A summary and critical assessment of a bibliographical contribution related to the course syllabus.
• A comparative analysis of a topic developed in the works under study.

If this optional activity is not carried out, the corresponding 10% will be added to the mark for the philological annotation.

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

The written expression of the tests must be appropriate: students must write well-structured commentaries, with paragraphs that have complete meaning and are coherent and properly developed. Errors, whether spelling, punctuation, syntactic cohesion, lexical improprieties, etc., will be penalised with 0.25 points each. Tests with more than ten errors will receive a failing mark.

The activities, practical exercises and assignments submitted for the subject must be original, and partial or total plagiarism of external materials published in any format will not be accepted under any circumstances. The person enrolled in the subject must properly indicate, in accordance with the conventions of bibliographical documentation, the authorship of all quotations and the use of external materials. The submission of non-original material without properly indicating its source, or the inappropriate or incorrect use of bibliography, will automatically result in a failing mark (0), with no possibility of reassessment.

If the lecturer asks the student to provide the sources used (annotated articles and books, outlines, notes, etc.), these must be submitted. If the student commits any kind of irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the mark awarded for an assessment activity, that activity will be marked 0, regardless of any disciplinary procedure that may arise from it. If several irregularities are verified in the assessment activities of the same subject, the final mark for that subject will be 0.

This subject allows the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies exclusively in the preparation process for the philological annotation test. The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to generate texts is not permitted. If the student makes use of this technology, they 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 tools have influenced the process and the final outcome of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered a breach of academic honesty and will mean that the activity is marked 0 and cannot be reassessed, or may entail more serious sanctions in cases of particular gravity. Likewise, the lecturer may summon the student to an individual tutorial in order to verify that the use of AI, where applicable, has been transparent, responsible and in accordance with the conditions established in this teaching guide.

At the time of each assessment activity, the lecturer will inform students via Moodle of the procedure and date for reviewing marks.

Students may take a reassessment of the subject provided that they meet the following requirements:

1. They must have completed at least 2/3 of the assessment activities, that is, the two written tests (first and second mid-term exams).
2. They must have obtained an average mark of at least 3.5 in the continuous assessment for the course.
3. The philological annotation exercise cannot be reassessed; nor can class participation activities. If the student has not completed the philological annotation exercise, it will be marked 0 for the purposes of calculating the weighted average.

The result of the reassessment test will replace the mark of the failed test in the final calculation of the subject mark.

The student will receive a mark of “Not assessable” whenever they have not submitted more than 30% of the assessment activities.

Single assessment

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

In order to be eligible for a pass, students are required to have completed all the course readings and to carry out the following assessment activities.

1. A text commentary or the development of a topic related to the course content (20% of the mark).
2. A written test halfway through the semester on the first two course readings (first mid-term exam) (40%).
3. A written test at the end of the semester on the final two course readings (second mid-term exam) (40%).

The same reassessment system as for continuous assessment will apply.

For all other considerations regarding correctness in written expression, plagiarism, the use of AI, the review of tests and the mark of “Not assessable”, the rules for continuous assessment will apply.
