6. METODOLOGÍA, RECURSOS:
A reader will be photocopied at the beginning of the course and students will be
asked to read and prepare the assigned material at home. This preparation is
essential for the development of the class, for certain points of discussion, taken
from the readings, and the questions students may have will constitute the core of
our learning activity. Punctual attendance to classes is, therefore, necessary. In the
second half of the course, all class participants will work on a syntax project.
7. EVALUACIÓN:
Apart from two quizzes, the mid-term, and the final exams, students will be
evaluated by means of a syntax project. Their overall performance in class will be
reflected on the class participation grade.
