The teaching activity of the course is mainly based on exposure and development by the teacher of the contents referred to in the agenda. Nevertheless, and in order to facilitate meaningful learning, classes will be include activities which allow the debate and active participation of students, particularly in practical classes. These practical classes will basically consist in a exemplification of methods and materials handled in the current research in this field. They may include, among others, the following aspects: comparative analysis between languages from data obtained from reference grammars, texts reviews, readings, sources and specialized dictionaries, etc. On the other hand, the Area of General Linguistics organizes complementary academic activities. The activities (conferences, seminars, workshops, etc.) that match this course into your schedule will be considered part of the teaching material of the course. Finally, it should be noted that the teacher may offer part of the content of the matter in the form of written photocopiable material. Such a material will be available to students within the space on the web page of the Virtual University, or at one or more reprographic shops in the campus.
Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support.

Although it has been noted in the previous section that the fundamental aspects of the assessment is conditioned by a negotiation with the students, it should be also take into account that such negotiation must conform to a number of criteria and guidelines that can be fixed in advance.
1. Given that ratings on record are individual and should be academically and/administratively revised, performances must necessarily have an individual author and be produced in an enduring support. That means that jobs in group or exclusively oral-based assessments are not allowed.
2. The evaluation of theoretical content by a continuous evaluation is only viable when the number of students is limited to a few affordable limits. This limit shall be set here, conventionally, in thirty five students. If the number of students enrolled in the course exceeds this figure, the evaluation of theoretical content has to be necessarily performed by means of an exam, in the dates officially stipulated, although other additional procedures could be admitted (control of readings, assistance, volunteer academic essays, etc.).
3. The assessment of the different aspects of the subject will accomodate to certain minimal proportions. In particular, the evaluation of theoretical contents will never be under 50% of the total amount; control of readings, if it exists, will be maximum 20% of the total rating.
4. Evaluation through objective tests (multiple choice tests) leaves open to negotiation with students two possible correction ways:
a) With error penalty, in accordance with the standard statistical formula:
[A - (E/O-1)/N]·10; where: A = hits; E = errors; O = options per item; N = number of items.
b) Without error penalty, but then placing the cut-off point at 60% (i.e., it will be necessary to hit the 60% of items to achieve the 50% of rating).
5. There is no optionality in the evaluative procedures. After being negotiated the assessment system, this is valid for the whole group and will remain in all calls academically linked to it.
6. Regular attendance at practices and theoretical classroom activities, active participation in group activities and elaboration of voluntary academica works will act as a favourable discretionary factor decided by the teacher, to a maximum of 30% of rating. This discretionary component will also perform at the eventual granting of honours ("Matrícula de Honor") in the legally stipulated terms.
7. All evaluation factors not expressly referred to in the present criteria will be subjected to specification during the negotiation process with the group.

FORMATION ACTIVITIES:
No variation with respect to the verified report regarding methodology and activities (A01, A02; M02, M04).
If practical conditions allow it, there will be 100% attendance.
If practical conditions do not allow 100% attendance, there will be attendance on alternate weeks. That is, in the face-to-face weeks of the semester, a part of the students will attend class, while the rest will follow these sessions by videoconference, provided that the technical means make this possible. In the non-contact weeks of the semester, teaching will be virtual for the group as a whole, with regular sessions by videoconference. The latter is conditional on the lecturer being authorized to go to the campus to carry out synchronous teaching activity in his office, since at home he lacks the appropriate conditions for it. Otherwise, the non-classroom teaching activity will be carried out asynchronously, through the tools available on the UJA virtual camp us.
If necessary, it will be prioritized that face-to-face classes in small groups be devoted to practical teaching.
The attendance rotation system in the face-to-face weeks will be established according to the ratio between the number of students and the assigned classroom capacity.
ASSESSMENT SYSTEM:
No variation from verified memory.
At the beginning of the teaching period of the subject, a negotiation process will be carried out with the group, in order to specify the assessment procedure. As far as possible, priority will be given to continuous assessment mechanisms (portfolio, control over readings, etc.) alternative to the face-to-face examination procedure.
The evaluation system agreed upon after negotiation with the group will be the same for the ordinary call and for the extraordinary call.
TUTORIALS:
Tutorials will be attended by email, or at the time established for this purpose, by videoconference, by appointment.
