Para axudar a conseguir unha contorna inmediata sostida e cumprir co obxectivo da acción número 5: “Docencia e investigación saudable e sustentable ambiental e social” do "Plan de Acción Green Campus Ferrol":

A entrega dos traballos documentais que se realicen nesta materia:

• Solicitaranse en formato virtual e/o soporte informático

• Realizarase a través de Moodle, en formato dixital sen necesidade de imprimilos

• Débese de facer un uso sostible dos recursos e a prevención de impactos negativos sobre o medio natural

• Débese ter en conta a importancia dos principios éticos relacionados cos valores da sustentabilidade nos comportamentos persoais e profesionais

• Incorpórase perspectiva de xénero na docencia desta materia (usarase linguaxe non sexista, utilizarase bibliografía de autores de ambos os sexos, propiciarase a intervención en clase de alumnos e alumnas…)

• Traballarase para identificar e modificar prexuízos e actitudes sexistas, e influirase na contorna para modificalos e fomentar valores de respecto e igualdade.

• Deberanse detectar situacións de discriminación e propoñeranse accións e medidas para corrixilas.
