Other comments and second exam session

If you do not, or cannot, complete the Continuous Assessment programme satisfactorily, you will have to write a Research Paper, in the Segona Convocatoria.

The Segona Convocatoria, will consist of a 3,000-3,500 word analysis of author(s) and work(s) developed through close reading and secondary sources. The Research Paper should provide an authoritative answer which demonstrates a good command of the topic and independent thought. It should be a critically acute and perceptive piece of work, demonstrating an ability to analyse the significance and function of literary features.

The mark achieved by the student in this final paper will amount to 100% of their overall course mark.

All papers will be submitted to the platform Ouriginal. Cases of plagiarism will result in the automatic failure of the specific CA component of the course in which it is detected. This will imply the failure of the CA. A recurrence of plagiarism in the same student's work will result in a '0' - Suspension being given as a final course mark.
