    Kirjallisten töiden ohjeet ja arviointi

    Kurssin yhtenä tavoitteena on oppia kirjoittamaan kurssin kielitaitotason mukaisia tekstejä ja kirjoitelmia espanjaksi. Kirjoitustehtävissä ei saa käyttää tekoälyä eikä käännösohjelmia tai esimerkiksi espanjankielisten henkilöiden apua. Yksittäisiä sanoja voi tietenkin etsiä em. apuneuvoja käyttäen.

    Kirjoitustehtävän arviointi:

    Kirjoituksen sisällön ja rakenteiden tulee vastata kurssin kielitaitotasoa. Tämä tarkoittaa, että jos tekstissä on kurssin tasoa edistyneempiä rakenteita, se vaikuttaa kielteisesti tehtävän pisteytykseen, vaikka rakenteet olisivat oikein. Kirjoitelma voidaan myös hylätä kokonaan.

    Opiskelija on aina vastuussa siitä, että hänen työnsä on hänen itsensä kirjoittama. Opettajan on usein myös helppo havaita vilppi, eli onko teksti koneen tai toisen henkilön kirjoittama.
