Assessment comments
-All activities, including exams, must be clearly written; errors of grammar, vocabulary, spelling, punctuation, and style in general will negatively affect the grades.

-To pass the subject, you must obtain at least a 5 out of 10 in the sections of the SEMINAR, the MIXED OBJECTIVE/SUBJECTIVE TEST, and the final grade.

-In the official exam in JULY there will be a mixed subjective/objective test, an individual academic essay, and an individual close-reading commentary. Group exercises and oral participation will be replaced by a test on the texts and concepts explained in class (Textual-conceptual test). 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 sit for 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.

-Any lack of academic honesty (plagiarism, cheating in exams, etc.) will be penalized in accordance with the provisions of the “Norms for the assessment, review and claim of qualifications for undergraduate and graduate degrees” (Article 14).

-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.

-The subject may be adapted to students who require the adoption of measures aimed at supporting diversity (be it physical, visual, auditory, cognitive, and learning- or mental health-related). If this is the case, they should contact the services available at the UDC/at the Center: within the official deadlines stipulated in a manner prior to each academic semester, with the Diversity Attention Unit (https://www.udc.es/cufie/adi/apoioalumnado/); failing that, with the "ADI" Tutor of the Faculty of Philology (at the following email address: pat.filoloxia@udc.gal).
