Students must regularly check the virtual platform and consult the proposed documents and activities. The lecturers will communicate with students through the Virtual Classroom or the UDC email. Communication with the lecturer should be carried out through institutional channels and using the university's email. In this subject: - A sustainable use of resources and the prevention of negative impacts on the natural environment must be made.
- The importance of ethical principles related to the values of sustainability in personal and professional behaviour will be taken into account.
- In accordance with the different regulations applicable to university teaching, the gender perspective must be incorporated into this subject (non-sexist language will be used, bibliography of male and female authors will be used, the intervention of all students in class will be encouraged, etc.). This will be done in order to identify and modify sexist prejudices and attitudes, and will have an impact on the environment in order to modify them and promote values of respect and equality. Likewise, the right to gender identity will be respected.
- The full integration of students who, for physical, sensory, mental or socio-cultural reasons, experience difficulties in gaining adequate, equal and profitable access to university life will be facilitated.
- The principle of democratic debate will be upheld, listening to and respecting all the different opinions on the subjects dealt with, both on the part of the teaching staff and the students.
