Assessment Criteria
The marking criteria
that apply for this module are those stipulated for level-6
literature/culture
modules in the 19/20 SLLF undergraduate handbook. Additional guidance
will be given in class as to how to understand these in relation to the
creative component of the coursework.
Nb. FRE6006 students are required to complete the creative exercise component of the second coursework assignment in French. Examiners will evaluate target-language expression for this assignment in relation to the ‘command of language’ rubric contained within the SLLF ‘Criteria for Marking Literature/Culture Modules’, rather than with regard to the ‘Criteria for Marking Language Modules’. Accuracy of target-language expression is therefore one important criterion amongst many, rather than the primary objective of the assignment, as it would be for language modules.
