Assessment comments |
No academic dispensation is accepted. The evaluation criteria for the second opportunity and the extraordinary opportunity are the same as for the first opportunity. The fraudulent completion of exams or evaluation activities, once confirmed, will directly result in a failing grade in the session in which it occurs: the student will be awarded a 'fail' (numerical grade of 0) in the corresponding academic year session, whether the offense is committed during the first opportunity or the second. To this end, their grade will be modified in the first opportunity transcript, if necessary.

To help achieve a sustained immediate environment and meet the objective of action number 5: "Healthy and sustainable environmental and social teaching and research" of the "Green Campus Ferrol Action Plan: The delivery of the documentary work carried out in this subject: - They will be requested in virtual format and/or computer support
- It will be done through Moodle, in digital format without the need to print them.
- If it is necessary to make them on paper:
- Plastics shall not be used
- Double-sided printing shall be carried out.
- Recycled paper will be used.
- Printing of drafts shall be avoided.
- A sustainable use of resources and the prevention of negative impacts on the natural environment must be made. - It will work to identify and change gender biases and attitudes, and influence the environment to change them and promote values of respect and equality. - Situations of discrimination should be identified and actions and measures proposed to correct them. |
