Sistema de evaluación
Consideracións xerais sobre a avaliación:
A participación ao longo do curso facilitará moito ao estudante a posibilidade de obter unha boa calificación.
Aspectos que se terán en conta na avaliación e criterios que se emplearán:
Tenránse en conta TODAS e cada unha das actividades do estudante ao longo do curso. Os profesores anotarán na ficha persoal do alumno cada actividade –individual e en grupo, escrita e oral, etc.- na que participe e computará para a calificación final.

Recomendacións en caso de recuperación en xullo:
Se, por calquer motivo, o alumno non puido superar a asignatura en xuño ou decidiu presentarse á convocatoria de xullo, lembrará que, para non renunciar aó 30% da calificación, terá que ter entregados aos profesores as actividades e traballos obligatorios. En caso de que o estudante entregara as actividades e participara regularmente, a tarefa realizada conservaráse así como as calificacións que esa tarefa aporte.

A asistencia e a participación na clase son obrigatorias e computa na avaliación. Neste senso, remitimos aos estudantes á Normativa de asistencia a clase nas ensinanzas adaptadas ao Espazo Europeo de Educación Superior (Consello de Goberno da USC do 25 de marzo de 2010).
Un baixo nivel de inglés afectará negativamente á túa nota.
Tempo de estudo e traballo persoal
Recoméndaselles aos estudantes adicar unha hora antes de cada clase a revisar os puntos máis importantes tratados nas sesións anteriores co fin de ver se comprenderon as explicacións, ter a posibilidade de expor as dúbidas que xurdan e poder participar activamente nas diferentes sesións. Ocasionalmente, pediráselles aos estudantes que lean fragmentos literarios ou críticos que serán comentados nas sesións interactivas e que exemplifican aspectos teóricos explicados na clases expositivas.
Os profesores aconsellan, por termino medio, adicar unhas 6 horas semanais á preparación da asignatura -lectura de textos, realización de actividades, preparación de clases teóricas e prácticas, revisión de apuntamentos, etc.

Recomendacións para o estudo da materia
Anímase os estudantes a asistir e participar activa e regularmente na clase, a revisar e completar os seus apuntamentos e a traballar en grupo.
Os textos deberán estar lidos e os problemas de vocabulario e sintaxe solucionados antes do comenzo da clase.
