Complementary Bibliography

Complementary bibliography to be provided in class by the lecturer

Teaching methods and learning activities

Theoretical and practical classes which includes the active participation of the students. Special attention will be given to those who choose the continuous evaluation modality

Software

No specific software required.

Evaluation Type

Eligibility for exams

The students who achieve a grade of 10 marks or higher in the final exam (students registered in final evaluation) or an average grade in the continuous evaluation assessment (students registered in continuous evaluation)

Class attendance.
In accordance with the FLUP’s regulations in force
- final evaluation: class attendance not required;
- continuous evaluation: compulsory attendance of a minimum of 3/4 of classes (practical classes).

Calculation formula of final grade

- final evaluation: grades represent 100% of the final exam grade (in a scale of 0 to 20 marks), in accordance with the FLUP’s regulations in force.
- continuous evaluation: final mark (scale of 0 to 20 marks) is based on: 1) written test = 20%; 2) theoretical component of the final exam = 35%; 3) phonetic transcription and analysis of a dialectal sample = 12,5%; 4) collecting and correcting linguistic errors = 5%; 5) 3 practical tests = 7,5%; 6) class participation = 5%; 7) report on a work or monograph = 15%

Examinations or Special Assignments
