Segona Convocatòria: A final exam amounting to a 100% of the final mark will be available for students who fail on the basis of the coursework. It will consist of a comprehensive final written test on the topics covered in class and a translation for which extensive documentation is required. Based on art. 21 NAM Grau, "El professor podrà establir a la Guia Docent aquelles mesures que consideri oportunes per al bon desenvolupament de les activitats avaluatives. Les mesures podrien incloure limitacions pel que fa a l'ús o tinença de dispositius de comunicació i transmissió de dades durant la realització de les proves i seran d'obligat compliment per part de l'estudiantat". This means that the teacher will not allow the use of mobile phones or any such devices while students carry out evaluable tasks, tests or the final exam unless explicitly stated. For that reason, the teacher will provide the students with all the materials/documentation/glossaries they need to sucessfully complete their tasks, tests or final exam considering students' professional levels in both English and Spanish. |

| Other comments | |
| Students should have professional levels of English and Spanish. The course is meant to be taken following Introduction to English translation. This course will not be concerned with language teaching. It is an advanced course on translation practice designed to train students to confront practical problems arising from the professional practice of translation. |
