  Descripció
Activitats Introductòries Preliminary lectures and readings will be given to present the basic literary constituents that conform a play and a film script. The lectures and readings will be followed by full class discussions.
Sessió Magistral Lectures will be based on the reading material of texts and the assigned texts for analysis and discussion. They will highlight the main ideas and concepts that contribute to the analysis of a play and a film script.
Seminaris Seminars (practical classes) will encourage group discussion of the specified text, and will allow students to practice the analysis of example texts, along the theoretical lines proposed in the theory classes. In order to participate fully, students must come to the seminars already familiar with the text under consideration. Texts to be discussed will be announced in the Course Timetable (available on Moodle)
Treballs Students will be asked to present written assignments, which may be required to be written in class, on a specific day, or at home. Each assignment will be about a specific texts, or part thereof, and will allow the student to show their ability to apply the theory presented in the lecture to the practical analysis of texts.

An Written Assignment, WA, will consist of a 600-word analysis of one of the four main course texts, on titles specified by the tutors. There will be 4. Language errors will be taken into consideration, with points being deducted for three or more errors from the categories in the "Basic Language Errors to Avoid" document available on Moodle. These deductions will increase proportionately. Such work must be presented with the proper formatting, quotation and reference procedures and bibliography.
Students will also write 3 Practical Assignments, PRs, in class, based on a short text or extract from a set text. These PRs will be programmed in advance.
Each exercise is worth 10% of the course score, for Continuous Assessment.

1. In the WAs, students must present work appropriately formatted, with correct quotation and reference, and a properly presented Bibliography. When a Style Sheet document is provided on Moodle stipulating the correct forms these elements must take, failure to comply with these stipulations will result in a WA not being evaluated.

2. Basic language errors are to be avoided at all times in students' writing. The categories of what are considered Basic Language Errors are set out in a document on Moodle. In a WA, if a student makes three or more errors from these categories, marks will be deducted, 1 point for every three basic errors. For work written in class, the PRs, marks will not be deducted for language errors. However, in both in the WAs and PRs students must provide correction and appropriate linguistic explanations for all their errors in each piece of work. These must be submitted to the teacher within a week after the work has been returned. If a student is not in class to collect their work, it is their responsibility to collect their work from the teacher's office, during office hours or by agreement. If the language errors are not corrected by the student, to a level which implies the student still does not understand the error that has been made, by the end of the teaching period, then the piece of work, WA or PR, will NOT be evaluated.

3. Any instance of plagiarism, copying a text or ANY PART OF A TEXT from another source without proper reference or citation, so that effectively the work of another person is presented as the student's own, or as any part of it, will result in the piece of work in which the instance occurs being evaluated as a '0'. This will lead to failure of the Continuous Assessment component of the course.

4. Students must submit ALL the WAs and PRs and do the two Tests in order to be eligible for a mark in the Continuous Assessment (CA) system of the course. If a student does not submit any WA or PR or misses any test, even if their overall CA score calculated with the missing mark(s) is above a 5, they will not be pass the Continuous Assessment part of the course, and must pass the Final Exam.

5. A student must score a minimum of 30% of the pass mark for EACH element in the CA, in each one of the 4 WAs, the 3 PRs and the 2 Tests, to be able pass the course on the basis of the Continuous Assessment.

6. Unless, the teacher enters into a specific agreement with the class, or group, to the contrary, any work to be submitted must be uploaded to the appropriate place on Moodle before the deadlines, as stipulated in the Pla de Treball, and in the Calendar on Moodle, or the Rough Timetable document offered by the teacher on Moodle. If a student has difficulty in submitting work through Moodle, and they choose to send it via an email to the teacher or submit it through the consergeria, it is their responsibility to make sure that the piece of work is evaluated and returned to them at the same time equivalent work is returned to their classmates. Where Moodle is the agreed channel for submission, the teacher will not accept responsibility for any work that is not submitted through Moodle, and is under no obligation to evaluate it, unless the teachers expressly agrees to accept the student's work, in writing.

7. Segona Convocatòria Exam contents. There will be 20-25 questions of the sort used in the two theory tests, Multiple choice questions, True or False, and Short answers of a word or two, or a short paragraph. The questions will be based on the powerpoints used in the theory part of the course, although some examples will come from the course text book, Ways of Reading. This should take about 30-40 minutes to complete.

Then there will be a poem to analyse, in which your answer should explain both the form of the poem (rhyme, rhythm, stanza shape) and its contents, and how these two elements interract to create the 'meanings' of the poem. Finally there will be essays questions on the narrative text, the drama text, and the film text, similar to the ones you were asked in the Practicals and in the WAs.

Dir. Orson Welles, Citizen Kane, ,

Students are highly recommended to buy the course text "Ways of Reading" (see list above for details) in the specified edition, as it will form the backbone of the two 'Anàlisi de Texts' courses in the second year. Be careful to buy the 4th edition, if you are buying it new. If you buy it second-hand, any addition will do, but the later edition the better. There are copies in the library, but every theory class will make reference to the book, and you will be expected to have read the relevant chapters/sections before each theory class.

Students are required to buy Educating Rita in the edition specified.If students wish to buy a paperback edition of Daisy Miller, they are recommend the specific edition (Penguin Classics, NOT World Classics) as it has excellent notes, and introduction. However, the text is available through Project Gutenburg on-line, so can be easily downloaded for free.The Film text we shall study is Citizen Kane, by Orson Welles. The film script is downloadable; however, our focus will be on the film itself, as a text. There are various copies available from the CRAIs of the URV.There will be an anthology of additional texts made available through the Campus Catalunya photocopy service, which is a compulsory purchase for students following the course. It will be available from the first day of the course.

While regular attendance in class and participation are not given marks directly in the Continuous Assessment part of the course, it is understood that it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that students attend all classes and participate fully in them. It is further understood that to do so will automatically increase the students' likelihood of getting good results in their course work. Students who are unable to attend class on a regular basis because of work or a clash of timetables with other subjects should contact the teacher from the start of the course so that the impact of these obligations upon the student's potential performance can be assessed with the teacher, and recommendations made. When a student misses a deadline for work to be submitted or a test, they must present written justification from their doctor, or another appropriately authorized source, in order to justify an extension to a deadline or the possibility of being tested at a later date.
