The date of the exam, you will have to submit the rest of the reading/writing exercises. The group presentation will also be optional. It should be noted that each student must complete the section(s) that they did not pass at the first opportunity. -The students who present to the early December call will be evaluated according to the rules specified for the July opportunity. -Students enrolled part-time and who have been granted an academic exemption should contact the teaching staff of the subject at the beginning of the course and they will be evaluated according to the criteria established for the July opportunity. -To NOT obtain the qualification of "Did Not Sit", the student must do at least half of the scoring work. -All assignments must be submitted in time and in the specified format in order to avoid a penalty of 25% on the grade obtained. -Teachers can use the "Turnitin" plagiarism detection service to review student work. Plagiarism in any activity will mean obtaining a "zero" in it. -If the coordinator considers it appropriate, there may be topics of self-study by the students (e.g. to increase your knowledge). These materials, which will not be subject to evaluation, will be provided on Moodle. |
