CREDITS will be given to students for a) their active participation in seminars (based on regular completion of various tasks, including the pre-reading assignments); two missed classes per semester are tolerated b) submitting a hard copy and an electronic version of an adequate seminar paper (the particular instruction being provided during the first seminar) by the stipulated deadline, meeting all the length, formal and factual (i.e., content) standards. Not satisfying the conditions a) active participation and b) submitting an adequate seminar paper by the stipulated deadline deprives the student of a chance to take the exam and get the credits for the subject in the same semester. Students whose participation in seminars was active, but the seminar paper did not meet the content or formal requirements will be allowed to re-submit once, still within the same exam period, based on a different topic. The student may take the exam only after their seminar paper was found acceptable. Note. Seminar papers represent solely the work of individual students. Hence no plagiarism and collaborative features (whether in content or in formulation) will be tolerated in their accomplishment. SEMINAR PAPER Option A. features a review of an independently selected pragmatic study (e.g., a research article published in a renowned journal, chapter in a monograph), the length being between 0.5-1 standard page A4. The following sheet/s of the seminar paper feature/s a teaching activity directly related to the topic of the pragmatic study. It may be designed by the student themselves or adopted from a practical textbook of English. The student should discuss the activity comprehensively and explain its effect. Option B. The student summarised, compares and reviews two pragmatic papers on the same topic. Whatever the alternative chosen, the seminar paper is submitted by the deadline (last seminar) in hard copy as well as electronically. The assessment takes the proficiency aspect into account. MINITESTS The 7:15 compensation lectures on 25/4 and 9/5 will see optional motivating minitesting. Minitests are voluntary theoretical or practical-analytical tasks on material covered up until the particular seminar. The overall results in minitests profiles the student´s work over the semester. For each excellent result in a minitest (100%), the student gains 2 pts by which their overal exam result will be boosted. For results between 60-90%, they gain 1pt. EXAM is designed to verify factual theoretical knowledge gained in Pragmatics, as well as its prerequisite, i.e., Text Linguistics and Stylistics. It consists of two parts of equal value (max 30pts each), both held on the same day. However, the success in the theoretical part (a minimum of 15pts) represents a prerequisite for taking the practical (analytical) part. Therefore, failure in the theoretical part (less than 15pts) means the candidate failed all the exam and has to resit it. For a successful completion of the entire exam, the requirement is set at 40pts/60pts. Each candidate can take the exam three times during the same exam period. If a candidate chooses not to sign up for the exam dates registered in the SIS, they will not be offered any extra dates later in the exam period. The theoretical part verifies the candidate´s theoretical familiarity with the terms, concepts and issues covered in the course. The analytical part represents a comprehensive analysis of an unfamiliar sample from the standpoint of the topics covered in the course and the candidate´s readings. A student may take the written exam as long as they completed successfully all the seminar requirements (adequate attendance, active participation in seminars, seminar paper at satisfactory level submitted by a stipulated deadline (final seminar). It should be noted that in the exam the candidate demonstrates their knowledge and skills gained in the course of Pragmatics as well as its prerequisite, i.e., Text Linguistics and Stylistics. Very good and excellent performers (grades A and B) do not take the oral exam. Candidates with weaker results in the written parts (40-43 pts overall) will also take the oral exam. (In borderline cases the seminar activity throughout the course and the standard of the seminar paper will be also taken account of.) The oral exam may be either theoretical or practical, depending on whether the candidate´s result was weaker in the teoretical or practical part of the written exam. Each student has three attempts (i.e., two resits in all). The candidate´s proficiency represents an integral part of the assessment. Feedback for all written work throughout the course is provided to students on their initiative (by email) in office time.
