This course can be adapted to 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/in their school or faculty, or the Unidad de Atención ala Diversidad (ADI) at the beginning of each academic semester in the timeframe officially established (https://www.udc.es/cufie/adi/apoioalumnado/ ); alternatively, they can contact the ADI tutor in the Faculty of Philology at the following address: pat.filoloxia@udc.gal).

Students will have two opportunities to pass the course: one at the end of the first term and the second during the month of July.

1. First opportunity:

1.1. To pass the course in the first opportunity it is mandatory to take the final exam and receive a passing grade (5). This test will evaluate grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, writing, and listening.

Date, time and place of the written exam will be published on the college web site.

1.2. It will also be mandatory to pass (5) a final oral exam to assess the students' expression, comprehension, and oral communication.

The information regarding time, place, and procedures for the oral exam will also be uploaded to Moodle long in advance.

1.3. It IS mandatory to do during the semester a set of exercises or practice tasks affecting all the skills and contents included in this course. These activities will be organized in two blocks:

Block A: practice of grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and writing.

Block B: activities of oral interaction (grammar and vocabulary will also be assessed in these activities).

For each class session students will have to do some homework.

Except for duly justified reasons and always with the authorization of the professor, activities submitted after the deadline will not be accepted.

In order for students to be allowed to take the written an oral exams of the first opportunity, and for these activities to count in the final grade, it is necessary to complete 80% of the activities programmed in each block and to obtain an average grade of at least 5 out of 10 in each block.

1.4. Taking this into account, the final grade will be organized according to the following percentage distribution:

a. Written exam: 45%:

Grammar, vocabulary, written expression, reading comprehension: 35%.

Listening comprehension: 10%

b. Oral exam: 15%

c. Continuous evaluation activities organized in two blocks (which must meet the requirements in section 1.3), with the following percentages (40%):

Block A: grammar, vocabulary, written expression and reading comprehension activities: 25%

Block B: production, comprehension, and oral interaction activities (in these activities grammar and vocabulary are also assessed): 15%

In order to pass the course, students need to get a grade of 5 (or higher) in a+b+c.

a, b, and c sections can be retaken in the second opportunity of evaluation with the same percentages. Sections with a passing grade do not need to be retaken in the second opportunity.

Check Section 6 in this syllabus for information on plagiarism and fraudulent actions.

2. Second opportunity:

2.1. If students do not get a passing grade in the first opportunity for not achieving the minimum score in the written test and/or in the oral exam, they will have to take them again at the second opportunity. As in the first opportunity, all relevant information will be published on the Filoloxía web page.

2.2. In case of failing the subject in the first opportunity for not achieving the minimum score in the activities of blocks A and/or B, students will have to do a series of substitute tasks for the second opportunity.

Specific instructions will be made available by the professor.

3. For the December exam, students will be evaluated of their knowledge and competences in the different skills: written exam (minimum grade of 5 out of 10; 70% of the final grade) and an oral exam (minimum grade of 5 out of 10; 30% of the final grade).

4. In each evaluation opportunity, students will receive an NP mark if the following two situations occur simultaneously: not having presented any of the evaluation tests (written and oral) and if the number of activities presented is equal to or less than 25% of those programmed.

5. Students with recognition of part-time dedication with academic dispensation need to communicate and provide proof of such situation. They will have to carry out and deliver the continuous evaluation activities scheduled for the first opportunity, according to the provisions of section 1.3. The face-to-face activities will be substituted by other equivalent non-face-to-face activities.

The other evaluable methodologies (written and oral test) will be applied 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 be applied.

6. All the course assessment items (understanding as such all the materials that students present to be evaluated) must be of individual elaboration (except when expressly indicated by the professor) and must be personal. Fraudulent or irregular actions in exams or other assessment items will automatically mean a failing grade of 0 in both the first and the second opportunities, as specified in the UDC's "Normas de evaluación, revisión y reclamación de las calificaciones de los estudios de grado y máster universitario".

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.
