10REQUIRED ATTENDANCE AND WORK
1. Language Classes: attendance is compulsory – except as otherwise prescribed by your teachers, you will be
required to present one piece of written work per week.
2. Essays: the Department accepts responsibility ONLY for term essays presented with the signed
coversheet (see section on plagiarism). Essays MUST NOT be handed in to individual lecturers, or pushed
under doors.
3. Extensions will only be allowed where there is a medical certificate or
evidence of other significant problem(s) – evidence must be presented in writing to the Head of Department.
4. Please ensure that you keep a copy of the Departmental style sheet (see pages 15 & 16) and follow
the conventions therein.
5. You should regularly check the Department notice board / emails for information about the return of
essays.
PRESENTATION OF ESSAYS
1. Essays should be typed on one side only. Use the grammar and spellcheck facility of a word processor.
Insert all Spanish accents and other orthographical signs. If you write your essay by hand, be sure to
write legibly. Marks will be lost for careless presentation.
2. Make sure you write grammatical English. Capitalize and punctuate properly. Think especially about
occasions when clarity would be better served by the use of a colon or semi-colon instead of a comma.
See book referred to in note 18: Peck and Coyle, pp. 76-78. Never use a comma where a full stop or a
semi-colon should be used.
3. Consult a dictionary regularly, if you suspect that you have a tendency to misspell words, either in
English or Spanish. In particular, pay special attention to the possessive apostrophe (‘the student’s
books’ is referring to one student; ‘the students’ books’ is referring to more than one student), and
also distinguish between 'it's', as an abbreviation for ‘it is’ or ‘it has’, and 'its' as a possessive adjective
(The cat has had its dinner).
4. Leave a margin of at least an inch all round. Number all the pages.
5. The essay must engage with the title: if a question is being asked, then that question must be
answered; if it asks for discussion on topic A, the essay cannot be about topic B.
6. Abbreviations of ordinary English or Spanish words, (e.g. do not write “can’t” for cannot/can not), and
writing in note form, are not acceptable.
7. A change of theme or a new stage in the argument demands a new paragraph. Each paragraph should
develop, expand, clarify or exemplify your argument(s). Paragraphs should not be excessively long.
Avoid one-sentence paragraphs, especially.
8. Italicize the titles of books and complete works: for example, Franco’s Spain, 20th Century Spanish
Tourism. In other words, do not use inverted commas for the titles of extended written works.
119. Note that in Spanish, only the first letter of a book/article/etc. title is capitalized, except for proper
names and words that always have a capital letter, as in the following example: El laberinto español.
10. Titles of chapters, articles in periodicals, essays in collections are given in quotation marks: for
example, ‘Ireland and the Spanish Civil War’. The name of the periodical is italicized, and identified
thus: Bulletin of Hispanic Studies, 21 (1954), pp. 150-151 [that is, vol. no., (year), page reference (s)].
11. QUOTATIONS from a literary work or a secondary source should be identified in some simple fashion:
number or line numbers of poem; chapter and page number of novel or play. Indicate which edition
you are using: once is enough. Use single inverted commas for the quotation, not italics. Subsequent
references can be put in your text and need not be relegated to footnotes or endnotes. In other words
avoid a string of footnotes or endnotes referring only to the work that you are chiefly discussing.
Quotations of less than about four lines should be run on in the text. This includes poetry, the lines of
which are then separated by forward slashes. Longer quotations, whether in verse or prose, are given
their own lines of text, and should be indented without single inverted commas. Your quotations
should make sense either as part of your own sentence or else as complete sentences in their own
right.
12. FOOTNOTE/ENDNOTE. Numbers should be placed at the end of a sentence after the punctuation.
Notes provide supplementary information to the argument conducted in the body of the text. They
should be used very sparingly and never simply for effect.
13. Ensure that only essential footnotes/endnotes are included. When a particular work is being
frequently referred to throughout the essay, the first reference to that work should be footnoted. A
footnoted reference should read as in the following example: Paul Preston. Franco. A Biography.
London: HarperCollins Publishers, 1993, pp. 23-24; and all further references to this work are given by
page number(s) in the text.
14. There are different ways of referring to critical works in your bibliography. The most complete is
probably as follows: Author, Title, Place of publication, Publisher (if available), date, page number(s),
e.g. Elliot, J. H. Richelieu and Olivares. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1984, p. 99. For
editions of texts, use the following convention: Author, Title, Editor; then as above: Romero, Francisco,
‘Spain and the First World War’, Eds. Sebastian Balfour and Paul Preston. London: Routledge, 1999, pp.
32-52.
15. If you use someone else’s ideas – whether quoted or paraphrased – you must attribute the borrowing
to the author. A reference in the Bibliography is not enough. Your indebtedness to the writer must
be acknowledged at the point of borrowing. You can use some of the standard conventions to
attribute borrowings to an author (For example: According to Paul Preston …; Hugh Thomas argues
that …; As J. H. Elliot points out, …).
16. Even if you do not incorporate quotations from or references to books or articles in the body of your
essay, give a list in the Bibliography of the sources you have used in the preparation of the essay; note
that any attribution/quotation in the text/notes must be referenced in the Bibliography.
17. You must follow the same conventions and appropriate referencing when accessing material on the
web: http://cvc.cervantes.es/lengua/default.htm and in brackets add the date you accessed the
website: for example, (accessed 12 January 2015).
18. Basic principles. Be clear and consistent. In general, it is sound practice to let the introduction briefly
outline what you intend to deal with, discuss, describe etc. The body of the essay should fulfil the
expectations prompted by the introduction. The essay should be rounded off with a brief conclusion of
the arguments and themes.
1219. Remember, a good reference for essay writing is John Peck and Martin Coyle. The Student’s Guide to
Writing. London: Macmillan Press Ltd., 1999.

PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism is taking the work of another and presenting it and claiming it as your own either
intentionally or unintentionally.
WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?
According to Neville (2000, p. 30) there are three main forms of plagiarism:
1. Copying another person’s work, including the work of another student (with or without
consent), and claiming or pretending it to be your own.
2. Presenting arguments that use a blend of your own and a significant percentage of copied
works of the original author without acknowledging the source
3. Paraphrasing another’s person work, but not giving due acknowledgement to the original
writer or organization publishing the writing, including Internet sites. The exceptions to this
would be in relation to common knowledge.
REMEMBER:
Copying and pasting from numerous sources and moving them around to make a complete
assignment is another form of plagiarism.
VERY IMPORTANT
To ensure that you have a clear understanding of what plagiarism is, how Trinity deals with cases of
plagiarism, and how to avoid it, you will find a repository of information at: http://tcd-
ie.libguides.com/plagiarism/
We ask you to take the following steps:
(a) Visit the online resources to inform yourself about how Trinity deals with plagiarism and
how you can avoid it at http://tcd-ie.libguides.com/plagiarism/. You should also familiarize yourself
with the 2015-2016 Calendar entry on plagiarism located on this website and the sanctions which
are applied;
(b) Complete the ‘Ready, Steady, Write’ online tutorial on plagiarism at http://tcd-
ie.libguides.com/plagiarism/ready-steady-write/. Completing the tutorial is compulsory for all
students.
(c) Familiarize yourself with the declaration that you will be asked to sign when submitting
course work at http://tcd-ie.libguides.com/plagiarism/declaration/
13Text of Declaration
Each coversheet that is attached to submitted work should contain the following completed
declaration:
I have read and I understand the plagiarism provisions in the General Regulations of the University
Calendar for the current year, found at http://www.tcd.ie/calendar/
I have also completed the Online Tutorial on avoiding plagiarism ‘Ready Steady Write’, located at
http://tcd-ie.libguides.com/plagiarism/ready-steady-write/
(d) Contact your College Tutor, your Head of Department, or your Lecturer if you are unsure about
any aspect of plagiarism.
Plagiarism is viewed by Trinity as academic fraud and an offence against University discipline. The
University considers plagiarism to be a major offence, and subject to the disciplinary procedures of
the University.
All students must read the part of the University of Dublin Calendar on plagiarism that applies
to them; every coversheet that is attached to submitted work has a declaration that
must be completed, confirming this.
IMPORTANT: You must read the following section on Plagiarism
14Matrix of Levels & Consequences
The University of Dublin Calendar refers to various levels of plagiarism. What constitutes plagiarism at a
particular level, and the consequences of being found to have committed plagiarism at that level, are
detailed below.
Nothing provided for under the summary procedure diminishes or prejudices the disciplinary powers of the
Junior Dean under the 2010 Consolidated Statutes.

18SCHOLARSHIP EXAMINATION
The objective of the Foundation Scholarship examination is to identify students who, at a level of
evaluation appropriate to the Senior Freshman year, can consistently display exceptional knowledge
and understanding of their subjects. The searching examination requires candidates to demonstrate:
skill in synthesizing and integrating knowledge across the full range of the set examination materials;
rigorous and informed critical thought; and, in appropriate disciplines, a highly developed ability to
solve problems and apply knowledge.
Scholarship is awarded solely on the basis of this examination performance – and no other factors
are taken into account. A Scholarship at Trinity College remains the most prestigious undergraduate
award in the country, an award that has undoubtedly helped to foster long-lasting links between
many outstanding graduates and the College. A principal aim of the College is the pursuit of
excellence: one of the most tangible demonstrations of this is the institution of Scholarship.
