 Discussion of oral presentation grades and review of the semester. 

Procedures of the June examination: The June exam will be in two parts, a written examination at class time on Monday June 1^st from 4.00-6.00 p.m. and an oral examination on Wednesday June 3^rd from 4.00-6.00 p.m.

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 90 minutes with 15 minutes tolerance. Students will submit their finished examination to my email cbeecher@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.

Procedures for the oral examination: students will be sent a Zoom link and the specific time slot of their oral examination on the morning of the examination.

The oral examination will have a duration of 15 minutes.

Structure of the examinations: the written examination will be divided into 2 parts: written exercise on specific forms of writing developed during the semester – narrative texts, descriptive texts, academic summaries and close reading of literary texts (50%), and an essay developed on the themes discussed in class using the set novels to support arguments (50%).

The oral examination will involve discussion of the set novels and theories presented.
