Assessment comments |
in the June evaluation students will present 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. students who do not attend either of the two exams will be given the grade of "non presentado" if they have not done at least 50% of the assessment work during the course. 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 sitting the December exam (final exam brought forward) will be assessed according to the criteria specified for the July opportunity. 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.
