Other comments and second exam session

The evaluation is continuous. Students must attend at least 80% of the sessions to be assessed in the first call. Otherwise, they will have to appear at the second call and hand in all the compulsory tasks of the subject; in this case, the practical test will account for 50% of the final grade.

In all the tests and activities, the correctness and adequacy of the writings will be evaluated, considering the oral and written communication rubric approved by the Teaching Council of the Spanish Language and Literature degree.
