Continuous assessment is the evaluation system
recommended for this course.The students must participate in the course
activities regularly and hand in the papers and homework by the
deadlines established at the beginning of the classes. The
final exam on basic concepts taught during the course will be held in
one of the sessions of the last week of classes.

The students who
fail the course in the first edition in June will have to repeat to
repeat those parts they didn't pass in the second edition in July. They
won't have to repeat the parts they had already passed and the original
marking percentual evaluation system will be kept the same.

1. The
   recuperation of failed parts is the following:1.- Final Exam. There
   will be a new final exam of basic concepts with the same characteristics
   as the first one.
2. Exercises and activities in the
   classroom.They will be evaluated by means of a written text with
   questions which comprise the same objectives.
3. Course paper/presentations. The failed paper will be defended again once its deficiencies and inaccuracies have been corrected.
4. Practices
   online. They will be recuperated by means of a questionnaire with
   questions of the same kind as the ones published on Tema Faitic during
   the course.

Those registered students who cannot do the
coursework regularly  must communicate it to the course lecturer at the
beginning of the course and explain the reasons that justify their
impossibility to follow the continuous evaluation system. However, these
people who justify they cannot follow the continuous evaluation system
will do only one global comprehensive exam with three parts.

1. Proof
   of their theoretical and practical  knowledge of the fundamental
   contents of the course my means of essay questions (40% of the final
   mark).
2. Exercises of application, synthesis and creation of the
   same kind as those done in the contact sessions and online using Faitic Tema during the continuous evaluation (50% of the final mark).
3. A
   practical case: The elaboration of a reasoned outline (a summary) of a
   paper project on one point of the syllabus which includes a first
   description of the problem to study, some illustrative examples, the
   different steps of the project and its final objective (10% of the final
   mark).

This final exam will take place during the first two weeks after the end of the contact sessions.

Those
students who fail this unique exam system in the first edition of the
transcripts in May will have to repeat and pass those parts they failed
in the second edition of the transcripts in July. They won't have to
repeat the parts they had already passed and the
original marking percentual evaluation system will be kept the same.

Those
students who do not follow the system of unique evaluation (one exam)
in June will have to do the July exam in full and the resulting final
mark will appear in the second edition of the transcripts. The official
date of this second edit will be the date officially approved by the
Faculty of Philology and Translation. 

The exchange students from
foreign universities who are interested in registering for this course
should keep into account that this course requires a high competence and
an advanced level of English.

Plagiarism in any exercise or exam
means a zero in this part. To pledge ignorance about what is considered a
case of plagiarism does not excuse the students from their
responsibility at this respect.

The evaluation will take into
account not only the relevance and quality of the content of the answers
but also its linguistic correction.

Students are responsible for
accessing the course materials and news on Faitic and also for checking
the exact exam dates in each case.
