In the second opportunity, in July, students will have to write an essay about the texts studied (4-6 pages, 60% of the final grade) and the exam (40% of the final grade). Students who have submitted satisfactory work during the course will not be required to submit any additional work in the second opportunity.

Turnitin may be used to check the originality of work completed outside of the classroom, including wrong citations, plagiarism or any other type of academic fraud. Should this occur, penalties for plagiarism will be applied (Normas de avaliación, revisión e reclamación das cualificacións dos estudos de grao e mestrado universitario).

Students who do not show up at either of the tests will be marked "Absent" ("Non presentado") if they have not turned in more than 50% of the gradeable activities.

Students officially registered as part time students and who have been granted permission not to attend clases (academic exemption), as stipulated in the regulations of this University, will be assessed in either of the opportunities according to the same criteria specified for the second opportunity.

Students sitting the December exam will be assessed according to the criteria specified for the July opportunity.
