- 40% - course work
- 60% - Final essay / project
Students who do not pass in the first opportunity will be able to re-sit in July, when they will be required to demonstrate that they have acquired the skills for each module via two types of assessment: a supervised project with the same percentage value and characteristics as in the first opportunity, plus the exercises agreed upon with the lecturer(s) as a substitute for the other activities of the module.
Given that this degree programme is part distance learning, part actual attendance, students are required to attend the compulsory in-person sessions, unless they have applied for exemption within the time period specified by the Academic Commission of the Degree, and this exemption has been granted. This exemption will be valid provided students comply with the rules on attendance in force in the three universities participating in the programme, and provided they comply with the assessment systems which are specified in the teaching guides for each module. Students should be aware, however, that not attending certain classroom sessions may affect their final grades.
Students who have been granted exemption, as specified in the university regulations, will be assessed according to the criteria applied to the July opportunity.
Students who do not submit a supervised project, or who fail to submit at least 50% of the other tasks for assessment, will be graded as absent from assessment (NP: no presentado).
PLAGIARISM: When assessing the students' essays, the teacher will pay attention to possible cases of plagiarism; to that effect, she can interview the students about their written work or use tools like TURNITIN.
Consequences of plagiarism (UDC regulations): "cualificación de suspenso na convocatoria en que se cometa a falta e respecto da materia en que se cometese. O/a estudante será cualificado con “suspenso” (nota numérica 0) na convocatoria correspondente do curso académico, tanto se a comisión da falta se produce na primeira oportunidade como na segunda. Para isto, procederase a modificar a súa cualificación na acta de primeira oportunidade, se fose necesario.”
GENDER: In accordance with the various regulations governing university teaching, it is necessary to incorporate a gender perspective into this subject. This includes, among other measures, the use of non-sexist language, bibliographies that are inclusive from a gender perspective, and encouraging participation from all students in class, regardless of their gender. We will pay particular attention to identifying and addressing sexist prejudices and attitudes. We will actively work towards the modification of this environment and the promotion of values of respect and equality. Our efforts will focus on detecting cases of gender discrimination and implementing appropriate actions to rectify such cases.
DIVERSITY: This module can be adapted for 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 faculty, or the Unidad e Atención a la 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 ).
