Continuous assessment activities
- Subject dossier (30% of the grade): Students must submit to the teachers of each of the five parts of the subject syllabus the activities carried out in these sessions (between one and three for each part) and a final reflection.
- Written work on one of four parts of the subject (30% of the grade): The work will develop one of the topics that the teachers will specify and explain at the beginning of the course, at which time the delivery date will also be indicated. The student may choose between the following options:
a) Preparation of a research project on a topic in Spanish or Spanish-American literature.
b) Preparation of a research project on a linguistic aspect.
c) Carrying out a reflection in which one of the items of the curriculum is related to the training received in the degree and how it is treated in an ESO or Baccalaureate textbook is examined.
d) Completion of a paper on Spanish as a foreign language.
- Written exam 1 (20%). The test, of a theoretical and practical nature, will cover the content of parts 1 and 2 of the syllabus.
-Written exam 2 (20%). The test, of a theoretical and practical nature, will cover the content of parts 4 and 5 of the syllabus.
At the time of each assessment activity, the teaching staff will inform students about the procedure and date for reviewing the grades.
To pass the subject, it is necessary to obtain at least a 5 in the weighted average of the assessment activities.
Students who do not reach this grade and who have previously been assessed in at least two thirds of the subject may participate in the retake (from which the course dossier is excluded), provided that they have obtained a minimum average grade of 3.5. The grade obtained in the retake will replace the grade initially obtained for the final calculation of the weighted average.
The student will receive the grade of Not Evaluable when they have not completed more than 30% of the assessment activities.
If the student commits any irregularity that could lead to a significant variation in the grade of an assessment act, this assessment act will be graded 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instructed. In the event that several irregularities occur in the assessment acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0.
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 result in the activity being graded 0 and not being able to be recovered, or greater sanctions in serious cases.
This subject does not provide for the single assessment system.
