Metodologies
Metodologías
  descripción
Activitats Introductòries Preliminary concepts and readings will be given to present the basic literary constituents that conform a piece of fiction. These lectures will be followed by class discussions.
Seminaris The seminars will be based on the analysis of all the texts. Active participation of the student is expected.
Sessió Magistral Lectures will introduce the major theoretical frameworks which will be necessary for the reading, understanding and critical analysis of the extracts selected, the short stories and the novel.
Presentacions / exposicions Part of the evaluation process is based on individual oral presentations. The class will be divided into different groups and each group, and each student, will have to introduce different issues relating to the social-historical context that accompanies each literary extract and short story. A general discussion will follow.
Atenció personalitzada Students are welcome to use the teacher's office hours for personal consultation or to become acquanted with the basic structure and contents of the course, and to further practise their communication skills in English. I will also be available for consultation, etc. via e-mail.

For students who attend classes regularly but fail the continuous assessment: If the sum of all your grades does not add up to 50%, you will have to take the resit exam which will consist of a 20 question test (20 marks) + 4 short essay questions (80 marks). The date of the exam will be registered on Moodle.

Regular attendance means not missing more than 5 classes.

Students who do not attend classes regularly will be asked to do the following:

  • A 20-question test based on the texts discussed in class, that is all the texts in your dossier and those on Moodle. (20 marks)
  • You will have to take part in one of the regular oral presentations and write the summary (See Moodle for instructions). The class presentation will take place on the date agreed by your group. (40 marks)
  • You will be required to write a final essay in the exam. The subject of the essay will be based on the material studied throughout the course. (40 marks)
