Students’
progress will be assessed during the course, including attendance and active
participation in the classroom sessions, and also individual work outside the
classroom. Active participation will be assessed taking into account the
carrying out of all kinds of oral and written tasks related to the course, both
in the classroom and outside (e.g. exercises, problems, commentaries, written
tasks, oral presentations, exams).

Given that this
degree programme is part distance learning, part actual attendance, students
are required to attend the compulsory sessions, unless they have applied for
exemption within the time period specified by the Academic Commission of the
degree, and this exemption has been granted. This exemption will be valid
provided students comply with the rules on attendance in force in the three
universities participating in the programme, and provided they comply with the
assessment systems which are specified in the teaching guides for each module.
Students should be aware, however, that not attending certain classroom
sessions may affect their final grades.

Students who
have been granted exemption, as specified in the university regulations, will
be assessed according to the criteria applied to the July opportunity.

Students who do
not submit a supervised project, or who fail to submit at least 50% of the
other tasks for assessment, will be graded as absent from assessment (NP: no
presentado).

Students who do
not pass in the first opportunity will be able to re-sit in July, when they
will be required to demonstrate that they have acquired the skills for each
module via two types of assessment: a supervised project with the same
percentage value and characteristics as in the first opportunity, plus the
exercises agreed upon with the lecturer(s) as a substitute for the other
activities of the module.

Important: Any
instance of PLAGIARISM will derive in the student failing this module.

• Turnitin is a tool for staff to use
  in order to check sections of written work originating in other texts and
  locating the sources. It is a useful way of detecting plagiarism. Its use
  is optional, but students are to be warned in the teaching guide that it
  is able to detect pieces of work previously presented in this or any other
  university, including work by the same student (for any subjectmatter). If
  coincidences are found, this will be understood as academic fraud, and the
  regulations concerning academic assessment, grading and complaints on
  testing will be applied. 
• With this warning, students are
  hereby informed of the academic consequences.
