Examination Instructions

Procedures of the June examination: The June exam will be in two parts, an oral examination at class time on Monday June 1^st (preassigned 15m slots, from noon-2pm) and a written examination on Wednesday June 3^rd from noon-2pm.

Students will have to do both examinations as they have equal weight.

 

Oral Examination

The oral examination will have a duration of 15 minutes.

The oral examination will involve a discussion of the set novel (Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World). Students will be expected to answer reflective questions in a critical, articulate and personal manner, and to discuss specific characters and events in the novel.

Procedures for the oral examination: students will be sent a Zoom link and the specific time slot for their oral examination on the morning of the examination. They must log into the Zoom room with cameras turned on throughout the examination. Moreover, students who have not attended class regularly must show a photo ID with a recent photo so that I can verify student identification before the examination begins.

 

Written Examination

Procedures for the written examination: students will be sent a Zoom link the morning of the exam. They must log into the Zoom room with cameras turned on throughout the examination. Moreover, students who have not attended class regularly must show a photo ID with a recent photo so that I can verify student identification before the examination begins. Once, I have verified all candidates’ IDs I will send the written examination to students’ official email.

The written examination will have a duration of 120 minutes with 5 minutes tolerance. Students will submit their finished examination to my email bpalmeirim@campus.ul.pt. All written examinations will be run through a plagiarism software before correction – any examination that is identified as having plagiarised material will not be evaluated and will be reported to Conselho Pedagógico.

Structure of the examinations: the written examination will be divided into 2 parts: 1) English language exercises (see SCB pp.80-101, worth 35%), and a Point-by-Point argumentative essay on Brave New World of about 500 words, as practiced during the semester (SCB 18-51; essay structure in SCB 41; worth 65%).

If you have IT or Special Educational needs: Following the Dean’s email to the FLUL academic community on 5^th May 2020 and the FLUL website, if you have IT problems (including not having a camera), you can contact Divisão de Sistemas e Informática dsi@letras.ulisboa.pt; if you have special educational needs you can contact nape@letras.ulisboa.pt. I would recommend you do this as soon as possible.
