Assessment comments

A realización fraudulenta das probas ou actividades de avaliación, unha vez comprobada, implicará directamente a cualificación de “suspenso” na convocatoria en que se cometa: o/a estudante será cualificado con “suspenso” (nota numérica 0) na convocatoria correspondente do curso académico, tanto se a comisión da falta se produce na primeira oportunidade como na segunda. Para isto, procederase a modificar a súa cualificación na acta de primeira oportunidade, se fose necesario. 

STUDENTS WITH RECOGNITION OF PART-TIME DEDICATION AND ACADEMIC EXEMPTION FROM ATTENDANCE, as established by the "Norm that regulates the regime of dedication to the study of undergraduate students at the UDC" (Art.3.b and 4.5) and the "Rules of evaluation, review and claim of the qualifications of the undergraduate and master's degree studies (Art. 3 and 8b), the qualification referred to classroom attendance, will be replaced by the realization of a practical work linked to said training. In addition, in personalized tutorials they will be explained the work done in the classroom so that they can do it properly at home.

Important supervised works:-The fraudulent performance of the tests or evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply the loss of the right to the opportunity in which the fault is committed and with respect to the matter in which it was committed. Qualification of suspense in the call in which the lack is committed and respect for the subject in which it was committed: the student will be qualified with "suspense" (numerical grade 0) in the corresponding call of the academic year, both the commission of the fault occurs in the first opportunity and in the second. For this, their qualification will be modified in the first chance certificate, if necessary.

As stated in the different regulations applicable to university teaching, the gender perspective must be incorporated in this matter (non-sexist language will be used, bibliography of authors of both sexes will be used, the intervention in class of students will be encouraged ...). Work will be done to identify and modify prejudices and sexist attitudes and influence the environment to modify them and promote values of respect and equality. Situations of discrimination based on gender should be detected and actions and measures proposed to correct them.
