In order to pass this subject, a mark of 5 out of 10 is the minimum required in each section of the assesment (speaking, mixed test and practical test). Late submissions will not be accepted unless duly justified. Students who do not attend the official exam will be granted an absent mark if they have not handed in 50% of the continuous assessment activities.  

Any plagiarized exercise or test will result in a failing grade (0) in this subject in accordance with article 11, section 4b, of the "Regulamento disciplinar do estudantado da UDC":

Cualificación de suspenso na convocatoria en que se cometa a falta e respecto da materia en que se cometese: 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.

July Exam Period: 

Students will not need to re-sit the parts they have previously passed. They can retake the parts they have failed, according to the following distribution of percentages: oral presentation (15%), mixed test (60%) and an assignment equivalent to the practical tasks (25%). 

December Exam: Students sitting the December exam (final exam brought forward) will be assessed according to the criteria specified for the July opportunity. 

Students who are officially registered as part time and have been granted permission not to attend classes, as stipulated in the regulations of this University (approved by the Consello Social on 4 May 2017), will notify the instructor in the first week of classes and, if that proves impossible, within seven days from the date of acknowledgement. They will carry out the required practical work individually and hand it in before the deadline. Late submissions will not be accepted unless duly justified. The final mark will be the weighted average grade of the assessed work carried out during the course and the exam that takes place on the date fixed in the academic calendar. In order to pass this subject, a mark of 5 out of 10 is the minimum required in each section of the assesment. Students will also be required to take the second opportunity in July if they fail to pass the first opportunity. They will have to re-sit the parts of the assessment they failed and will not need to re-sit the parts they have previously passed.

Attention to Diversity: 

This module can be adapted for students who need support for their particular situation (physical, visual, auditory, cognitive, learning process, or related to mental health). If necessary, students should contact the services available in UDC/faculty

Gender equality: 

A gender perspective will be incorporated into this subject. This will include, among other measures, the use of non-sexist language, the selection of books and articles written by men and by women, as well as encouraging participation from all students in class, regardless of their gender. In addition, sexist prejudices and attitudes will be addressed and efforts will be directed towards the modification of this environment and the promotion of values of respect and equality. In the event of gender discrimination, appropriate actions will be implemented to rectify such cases.
