The final assessment will have the following breakdown:

Final exam, value of 50% of the final grade (the minimum rating is 4 out of 10).

Maximum grade of the case study will be 20% of the grade, along with oral presentation (5%).

Maximum grade for the analysis of documentary sources will be 20% of the grade, along with the directed discussion (5%).

To pass in all cases the grade point average must be equal to or higher than 5 points.

If you have an academic exemption, according to UDC regulations, only the final exam will be taken into account for the assessment, which will therefore have a 100% weighted value in the qualification.

For students who have pending subjects from previous courses, they can choose to either redo the assignments or only take the essay test for evaluation, which will have a weighted value of 100% in the grade. The assignments evaluated in previous sessions will not be taken into account.

IMPORTANT-1: In case of committing plagiarism or fraudulently carrying out exams or other evaluation activities, the final grade will be a fail in the term when the offense is committed: the student will be given a "fail" grade (numeric grade 0) in the corresponding academic year term, whether the offense occurs in the first opportunity or the second. If necessary, their grade will be modified in the record of the first or second opportunity.

IMPORTANT-2: Group work ( is intended to raise the individual grade of the exam, not to lower it. In other words, if all works together receive a lower score than the exam, the final grade will be based on the individual exam score. Thus, group work cannot harm individual work.

NON-ATTENDANCE AND EXEMPTION: Students with academic exemption or irregular attendance must contact the respective professor and, to pass the subject, will take the final exam, which will account for 100% of the final grade. In exceptional cases, the professor may allow the student to participate in other evaluation activities in some way. In such cases, the value of the final exam will be weighted based on the degree and quality of participation in other subject activities.

GENDER PERSPECTIVE EQUALITY: As stated in various regulations of university teaching, this subject will incorporate a gender perspective: non-sexist language will be used, bibliography authored by both genders will be used, equal participation of students in class sessions will be encouraged, identification and modification of sexist biases and attitudes will be addressed, and efforts will be made to change discriminatory processes in the environment and promote values of respect and equality. Possible situations of gender-based discrimination will be identified and proposals for actions and measures to correct them will be made.
