Assessment comments

Given that this degree programme is
part distance learning, part actual attendance, students are required to attend
the compulsory sessions, unless they have applied for exemption within the time
period specified by the Academic Commission of the degree, and this exemption
has been granted. This exemption will be valid provided students comply with
the rules on attendance in force in the three universities participating in the
programme, and provided they comply with the assessment systems which are
specified in the teaching guides for each module. Students should be aware,
however, that not attending certain classroom sessions may affect their final
grades.

Students
who have been granted exemption, as specified in the university regulations,
will be assessed according to the criteria applied to the July opportunity.

It is necessary to achieve at least a mark of 4 points in each of the exams or assignments in order to obtain a final mark. 

Any student who does not carry out the supervised work, if any, or the class work, or has not performed work equal to or greater than 50% of the rest of the evaluation categories, will obtain the rating of NO PRESENTADO. Anyone who does not show up for the written test can only achieve the grade of No presentado.

Students
who do not pass in the first opportunity will be able
to re-sit in July, when they will be required to demonstrate that they have
acquired the skills for each module via two types of assessment: a supervised
project with the same percentage value and characteristics as in the first
opportunity, plus the exercises agreed upon with the lecturer(s) as a
substitute for the other activities of the module. 

In accordance with the various regulations governing university teaching, it is necessary to incorporate a gender perspective into this
subject.
This includes,
among other measures, the use of non-sexist language, bibliographies that
are inclusive from a gender perspective, and encouraging participation from all students
in class, regardless of their gender. Particular attention to identifying and addressing sexist
prejudices and attitudes will be paid. We will actively work towards the modification of this environment and the promotion
of values of respect and equality. Our efforts will focus on detecting cases of gender discrimination and
implementing appropriate actions to rectify such
cases. 

Plagiarism

In this subject, the Turnitin tool could be used in the evaluation of essays and activities. Based on the recommendations of the Xunta de Facultade, the following text is added for the students' consideration: Turnitin is an application for teachers to review parts of a text from other texts and indicate their origin. This tool can identify papers presented previously in this or other universities, including those written by the same student. If this circumstance occurs, it will be understood that it is contrary to academic honesty and will be applied to the academic regulations for evaluations, grades, etc. "Any academic dishonesty (plagiarism, cheating in exams, etc.) will be penalised in accordance with the provisions of the 'Normas de avaliación, revisión e reclamación das cualificacións dos estudos de grao e mestrado universitario'. 

Any plagiarized exercise or
test will result in a failing grade (0) in this subject in accord with article
11, section 4b, of the  "Regulamento
disciplinar do estudantado da UDC": “Cualificación de suspenso na
convocatoria en que se cometa a falta e respecto da materia en que se cometese:
o/a estudante será cualificado con “suspenso” (nota numérica 0) na convocatoria
correspondente do curso académico, tanto se a comisión da falta se produce
naprimeira oportunidade como na segunda. Para isto, procederase a modificar a
súa cualificación na acta de primeira oportunidade, se fose necesario”.
