In the July evaluation students will present one essay on the texts studied (50%) and sit an examination (50%). In the June evaluation, students who do not attend either of the two exams during the course will be given the grade of "non presentado" if they have not done at least 50% of the assessment work during the course.
IMPORTANT: Part-time and students with special dispensation must contat the teacher 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 seminar work and participation, reading and supervised projects.
Those essays or works which are not totally original, i.e. affected by plagiarism, will receive 0.0 points, according to UDC regulations.

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

Students are encouraged to use recycled materials whenever possible. 

Full-time students and part-time students can be examined according to the criteria for the July opportunity in either of the two opportunities.

About 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.
