Workbook A18 B1 B2 B3 B8 B9 B14 C1 Critical readings, reflections, discussions, presentations and practical exercises that students must do IN THE CLASSROOM and they have to upload them to moodle, following directions given by the teacher.
If a student has not attended the lecture during which the practical exercise has taken place, he will NOT be able to deliver the practical exercise unless he is able to justify his absence appropriately. Since the teacher will not be able to assess either the time spent doing the exercise or the resources, the student will be graded at a lower standard should he not attend the lecture. If the student chooses to deliver the exercise without attending the lecture, he must deliver it within 24 hours of the exercise date. Please take into account that some practical exercises can only be done in a classroom environment (discussions, focus groups, presentations, etc.)

Assessment comments

The student MUST CHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING ASSESSMENTS AND LET THE
TEACHER KNOW BY EMAIL: mromani@udc.es within the first 15 days of the course. The student should bear in mind that he will not be able to choose
a different assessment unless he has given a valid reason and the teacher
authorizes him to do so. If the student does not inform the teacher of the
chosen assessment in due time, his performance will be assessed according to
the criteria established, that is, the student will only be able to take the
objective test on 100% of the subject.

ASSESSMENT ONE:

-Complete at least 25% of the "READINGS" (40%) and take the
"OBJECTIVE TEST" (60%)

In this case, the marks resulting from the two methodologies will be
added up, IN THE JANUARY ASSESSMENT AND IN THE JULY ASSESSMENT.

If the totals of the two methodologies do not equal to a pass in the
January assessment, the results obtained in the "READINGS" will be
considered, and added up to the results obtained in the "OBJECTIVE
TEST” in the July assessment.

Should the student choose this assessment, HE WILL NOT be able
to take the "OBJECTIVE TEST" on 100% neither in January nor in July. 

ASSESSMENT TWO:

-Take only the “OBJECTIVE TEST” (100%) in January and in July.

PLEASE NOTE: if due to exceptional circumstances the student cannot
choose from any of the two assessments, HE SHOULD CONTACT THE TEACHER WITHIN THE
FIRST 15 DAYS OF THE COURSE to discuss an alternative
