Assessment criteria

28 Janeiro 2019, 08:00 • EDUARDA MELO CABRITA

Assessment criteria:

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 2018-2019 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 15.

Individual short story class writing activities will be held on 20 February, 13 March, 27 March, 15 April.

The individual short story must be submitted by 8 May.
