Assessment comments

Students must complete the proposed readings (see list of contents) always before they are analyzed or commented in class, so that interactivity and debate are possible. Likewise, the teacher may establish a test or a reading test, which will always be done in class, on each of the readings in progress, either at that time or later than those works had been analysed in the classroom. The readings are obligatory and all of them will be evaluated individually. The readings and their respective tests are part of the evaluation of the subject, in the Seminar section, as indicated above. Oral resentations, if it is the case, must be delivered in a timely manner before being presented orally, when applicable, along with the presentation (PPT). The teacher can ask students to present orally some of their works.

The written exam, which will consist of three parts, one for each teacher of the subject, will complete the evaluation of the subject. Students must obtain at least a 4 out of 10 in each of the parts iso that each grade can be taken into account in calculating the average grade.  If a 4 or more is not obtained in each of the parts, the student will have to pass that part of the exam in July.

In the July evaluation students will present some exercises or an essay on the texts studies (50%) and sit an examination (50%). Students who satisfactorily presented work throughout the course do not need to hand in any additional essay, unless otherwise indicated. Students who do not attend either of the two exams will be given the grade of "non presentado". Part-time and students with special dispensation must contat the teachers at the beginning of the course in order to plan each individual situation and the changes needed to compensate the percentages of the grade arising from directed discussion, reading and supervise projects.

Students who have been granted exemption, as specified in the university regulations, will be assessed according to the criteria applied in the July opportunity. Students who have been granted exemption can follow the course through the virtual campus of the UDC and maintain contact with the university professors via e-mail and Teams. 

Students sitting the December exam (final exam brought forward) will be assessed according to the criteria specified for the July opportunity.

Plagiarism

Written work may be tested through Turnitin in order to detect wrong citations, plagiarism or any other type of fraud. Should this occur, the rules for plagiarism will be applied. (Normas de avaliación, revisión e reclamación das cualificacións dos estudos de grao e mestrado universitario). Turnitin recognises papers previously turned in by other people (or the student him/herself) at this university or other universities, as well as other material found on Internet. 

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 na primeira oportunidade como na segunda. Para isto, procederase a modificar a súa cualificación na acta de primeira oportunidade, se fose necesario”. 

In accordance with the various regulations governing university teaching, it is necessary to incorporate a gender perspective intothis subject. This includes, among other measures, the use of non-sexist language, bibliographies that are inclusive from a gender perspective, and encouraging participation from allstudents in class, regardless of their gender.

-We will pay particular attention to identifying and addressing sexist prejudices and attitudes. 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 rectifysuch cases. 

Diversity and adaptation. The subject may be adapted to students who require the adoption of measures aimed at supporting diversity in accordance with the indications of the Diversity Attention Unit (https://www.udc.es/cufie/adi/), which must be contacted within the deadlines established by this unit. The advice of the faculty's ADI tutor is also available.
