Students’ progress will be assessed during the course, including attendance and active participation in the classroom sessions, and also individual work outside the classroom. Active participation will be assessed taking into account the carrying out of all kinds of oral and written tasks related to the course, both in the classroom and outside (e.g. exercises, problems, commentaries, written tasks, oral presentations, exams).

ASSESSMENT: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

• 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.
• The final marks of those students who are officially exempted from class attendance will be exclusively based on the written project and its oral presentation (70% and 30% respectively).
• Students
  who do not submit a supervised project, or who fail
  to submit at least 50% of the other tasks for assessment, will be graded as
  absent from assessment (NP: 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 necessary skills via two types of assessment: a supervised
  project with the same percentage value (70%) and characteristics as in the first
  opportunity, plus the exercises agreed upon with the lecturer as a
  substitute for the other activities of the module (30%).For the individual written research assignment and exercises, the submission deadline is the exam date established on the official calendar for the second
  opportunity. 
• Any instance of PLAGIARISM will derive in failing the course. The Faculty committee (Xunta de Facultade) came to the following decision:
• Turnitin is a tool for staff to use in order to check sections of written work originating in other texts and locating the sources. It is a useful way of detecting plagiarism. Its use is optional, but students are to be warned in the teaching guide that it is able to detect pieces of work previously presented in this or any other university, including work by the same student (for any subjectmatter). If coincidences are found, this will be understood as academic fraud, and the regulations concerning academic assessment, grading and complaints on testing will be applied. 
• With this warning, students are hereby informed of the academic consequences.
