Assessment comments

The subject may be adapted to students who require the adoption of measures aimed at supporting diversity (physical, visual, auditory, cognitive, learning or related to mental health). If this is the case, they must contact the services available at the UDC/at the Center: during the official deadlines stipulated prior to each academic term, with the Diversity Attention Unit (https://www.udc.es/cufie/ADI/apoioalumnado /).

1. At the first opportunity, students will have to attend class to benefit from continuous assessment (with more than 5
classes without justification will lose the right to continuous assessment) which consists of the collection of tasks and activities done in class or at home to be delivered, as well as presentations of oral simulations to be delivered (50% of the final grade). For continuous evaluation
it will be necessary to bring the French language method daily: RIEHL, SOIGNET, AMIOT,

Le français des relations internationales et européennes, Objectif Diplomatie 1, ed. Hachette, new edition, 2017.

The continuous assessment includes a control in the middle of the semester and another final one on the last day of class (total: 50% of the grade
end). The controls may include some type of oral expression test as part of the grade. It will be reached at least
an average of 5 in the set of the two controls to make an average with the grade of the class assignments that will have to be like
minimum a 4.

Students who do not pass during the course may take the final exam in the first call provided by the
Faculty board, as well as those who want to raise their grades. In this case the final exam will consist of a test with
objective questions that aim to assess the 4 foreign language skills. Students who do not pass the continuous assessment during the course, or the exam of the first call, will have to take the final exam of the 2nd call scheduled by the Faculty Board.

2. Evaluation of the second opportunity: If the subject is suspended in the first opportunity for not reaching the minimum score in the written test and/or in the oral test, the students must take it again in the second opportunity.
The date, time and location of the written test must be checked by students on the faculty's website.

3. In the extraordinary call in December, the students will be assessed on their knowledge and skills in the different skills of the subject through a written test and an oral test.
For the implications of the fraudulent or irregular performance of the written or oral test, see section 6.

4. In each evaluation opportunity, students will receive the NP qualification if they have not taken any of the evaluation tests (written and oral).

5. Students with recognition of part-time dedication with academic dispensation, prior communication and documentary accreditation of said situation to the teacher, can, without attending classes, carry out and deliver the continuous assessment activities scheduled for the first opportunity, according to the provisions in section 1. Face-to-face activities will be replaced by equivalent non-face-to-face activities. The other evaluable methodologies will apply (written and oral test) with the same requirements and characteristics as for the rest of the students.
For the evaluation of the second opportunity, the provisions of section 2 will apply.

6. The academic works (meaning all the material that the students present to be the subject of evaluation) must be individually prepared (unless expressly indicated by the teacher) and personal.
Fraudulent or irregular completion of the tests and/or any of the continuous assessment activities will automatically result in a '0' failing grade in the subject in the corresponding call, invalidating the grades obtained in the different assessable methodologies.

The works presented by the students may be incorporated into Turnitin, a tool for detecting plagiarism as well as works previously presented at this or other universities, even by the same student. In the event that any of these circumstances occur, the measures contemplated in the Rules for evaluation, review and complaint of grades of undergraduate and master's degree studies of the University of A Coruña (article 14.4) may be applied.

7. In the no contemplated cases previously will apply  the willing in
the "Norms of evaluation, review and claim of the qualifications of the
studies of degree and mestrado @universitario" of the UDC.

According to the different regulations that govern university teaching, it is necessary to incorporate the gender perspective in this matter. This includes, among other measures, the use of non-sexist language, inclusive bibliographies from a gender perspective and encouraging the participation of all students in class, regardless of their gender.

We will pay special attention to identifying and addressing prejudices and sexist attitudes. We will actively work to change this environment and promote values ??of respect and equality.

Our efforts will focus on detecting cases of gender discrimination and implementing the appropriate actions to correct such cases.

Other comments

It is recommended to attend a class regularly to follow continuous assessment, with the instructions found on the Moovi portal
of the matter

Students are advised to read this teaching guide carefully: in its different sections, you will find answers to many questions that arise about the conception, organization and objectives of the course. Do not hesitate to go to the teacher to clarify any question in this regard. You must pay special attention to the following aspects: • Perform punctually as assigned activities. Accumulated delays harm the evolution of their learning and the progressive development of skills, and make their use progressively less; also, remember that, except for justified reasons, and always with the express agreement of the teacher, it is not allowed to deliver activities outside the established deadline. • Try to observe yourself and self-evaluate, becoming aware of your shortcomings and your progress. • Your written and oral presentations or interventions must be appropriate to the level of studies you are at and to the activity you are developing.
