Assessment comments |
Students must do at least 50% of the work required to be elegible for a final grade. A final exam, objective test, covering all course work will be 40% and essays and activities 60%. If you fail to pass either the final exam, the essays, your oral presentation or the written exercises,these parts must be repeated in the July exam with the same percentages. Those who are officially registered as part-time students, and have been granted permission not to attend classes, as stipulated in the regulations of this University, will be assessed in either of the opportunities according to the same critiria specified for the second opportunity (July). Students sitting the December exam (final exam brought forward) will be assessed according to the criteria specified for the July opportunity. Plagiarism Essays 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.
