The Segona Convocatoria exam will consist of a number of short questions to test knowledge of theory and historical context, and familiarity with the texts covered in class discussion. The second part will consist of three essays (3-400 words each) on the set texts in the course. you will be obliged to write one essay on each set text.
Tots els treballs s'enviaran a la plataforma Original. Els casos de plagi comportaran la fallada automàtica del component d'AC específic del curs en què es detecti. Això implicarà el fracàs de la CA. La repetició del plagi en el treball del mateix estudiant donarà lloc a un '0' - Suspensió com a nota final de l'assignatura All work will be submitted to the Original platform. Cases of plagiarism will result in automatic failure of the specific AC component of the course in which it is detected. An agreement to rewrite the piece of work may lead to the element being considered 'apte' - fulfilled, but without any points contributing to the overall course mark. If there is a repetition of plagiarism, this will imply the failure of the CA. Repetition of plagiarism in the work of the same student will result in a '0' -Fail as the final grade of the subject. The use of CHATGP and other AI text generators will be considered plagiarism and will be treated equally, as this work cannot be considered a student's own original, unaided work, which is what is being assessed. the way to avoid accusations of plagiarism is simply to cite, or quote the other author's text properly, making it quite clear that the words or thoughts are not yours originally. Of course, a text made up entirely of quotations from other sources can also not be considered an original piece of student work. Students wishing to pass the Continuous Assessment must participate in ALL components of the CA system, and must get a minimum score of '3' in each element of the CA to be able to pass on just the CA mark. If they get less than a '3' on any part of the CA, this implies that they must present for the Segona Convocatoria. . |

To be successful in this course, the student must show a good knowledge of the set texts, so that they are able to cite examples, incidents, actions and thoughts of the characters in order to justify a line of argument.
While the reading load will not be excessive, including the course anthology of texts, mostly up to 3-4 pages each, there will be a number of set texts which together will amount to the approximate equivalent of three mid-length novels. |
