Unit description
This distance education course offers exposure to the different genres of Polish literature set within their literary, cultural and historical contexts. The unit explores the various forms, formal features, key themes, diversity of writing styles and models of thought relevant to poetry and narrative genres to encourage an informed reading of different text types, and to establish a sense of how the texts are socially and culturally constructed, and how an interpretation is guided by the genre-specific literary and linguistic features.

Assessing Active Participation
Active participation is assessed by a student’s engagement in activities such as discussions facilitated by the lecturer/tutor, contributions to online discussion forums, or general questions asked during lectures or tutorials and involvement in set activities.
Active tutorial preparation and participation is compulsory, and is a prerequisite for earning the tutorial preparation and participation mark. Active participation in the tutorial Zoom sessions, showing significant preparation beforehand, is necessary to earn a good mark. Specific instructions and the marking criteria are available on iLearn. For students unable to participate in Zoom tutorials, alternative activities will be required to be undertaken.
Students who experience difficulties or have any questions concerning the course should contact the unit convenor for guidance either by email or in person during the unit consultation hour or by appointment.
Electronic submission
Unless otherwise approved, all text-based assessment tasks will be submitted electronically using the University’s electronic learning management system.
Use of plagiarism detection software
Text-based work submitted by students for assessment will be subject to plagiarism detection software, such as Turnitin or similar approved software, unless otherwise approved.
Plagiarism detection methods are to be used on a routine basis to check student work or when plagiarism is suspected.
Late Assessment Penalty
Unless a Special Consideration request has been submitted and approved, (a) a penalty for lateness will apply – two (2) marks out of 100 will be deducted per day for assignments submitted after the due date – and (b) no assignment will be accepted more than seven (7) days (incl. weekends) after the original submission deadline. No late submissions will be accepted for timed assessments – e.g. quizzes, online tests.
Special Consideration Policy
