Curricular information is subject to change.

Déanfar staidéar ardleibhéil ar ghramadach na Gaeilge sa mhodúl seo. Tabharfar aird faoi leith ar chúrsaí comhréire, go hairithe struchtúir fócais, clasail choibhneasta agus clasail neamhfhinideacha (cinn a bhfuil an t-ainm briathartha ag feidhmiú mar bhriathar iontu).

Cé go bhfuil sé i gceist an modúl seo a mhúineadh i seomra ranga, an léachtóir agus na mic léinn ar aghaidh a chéile amach, ní mór a aithint go bhféadfadh éigeandáil eile sláinte a bheith ann a chuirfeadh cosc leis sin. Pé scéal é, beifear ag baint úsáide as Brightspace chun méid áirithe ceachtanna ar líne a dhéanamh.

Dá bhrí sin, ní mór do mhic léinn ríomhaire glúine a bheith acu, mar aon le rochtain ar WiFi, chun páirt iomlán a ghlacadh sa mhodúl seo.

*Dath Dearg: Níl cead ag mic léinn intleacht shaorga (IS) ghiniúnach a úsáid don mhodúl seo.*

Ionracas:
Dob fhéidir go loirgeodh an comhordaitheoir comhrá ort faoin gcur chuige i gcás na hoibre a cuireadh isteach, chomh maith le scileanna / coincheapa ábhartha a scrúdú, agus dob fhéidir, dá réir, tionchar a bheith aige seo ar an ngrád a bhronnfar ar an obair féin.


Intleacht shaorga:
Ní cheadaítear úsáid na hIntleachta Saorga Giniúnaí (Generative Artificial Intelligence) in aon chuid de mheasúnú an mhodúil seo, cé go bhfuil cead úsáid a bhaint as uirlisí eagarthóireachta (amhail spell- nó grammar-checkers) atá bunaithe ar an Intleacht Shaorga ar leibhéal níos ginearálta. Tá an-tábhacht ag baint le forbairt na smaointeoireachta criticiúla agus scileanna um struchtúrú argóintí / anailíse i gcomhthéacs obair scríofa an mhodúil seo, an scrúdú ina measc, agus goideann úsáid na hISGin croí-dheiseanna lárnacha uimpi sin ón iarrthóir.
