Syllabus and assessment criteria

3 Fevereiro 2020, 08:00 • EDUARDA MELO CABRITA

Assessment criteria are as follows.

Students will be assessed on oral and written work. Weighting will be as follows:

writing test                                                                                                    50%;

individual short story writing

(in class)                                                                                                       25%;

task-based assignments (oral and written)

and active participation in class                                                                    20%;

attendance                                                                                                      5%.

 Since assessment will be conducted on a regular basis, any task that is not submitted when due will be given a zero. Any form of plagiarism (including representing anyone's work as your own or receiving any unauthorised assistance) will be equivalent to a fail in the Creative Writing course unit.

 Worker students may opt for continuous assessment (in which case they will have to comply with all the assessment criteria set for regular students) OR sit an examination to be held at the end of the 2019-2020 academic year. The examination will focus on the contents of the syllabus adopted for English: Creative Writing.

 Semester calendar

The writing test will be held on April 27

Guided writing: Students write a story starting with "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen"
