Assessment comments

-To pass this course, you must be graded with at least 5 (out of 10) IN EACH OF THE assigned activities (i.e. essays, presentation, etc.) and with at least 5 (out of 10) in the FINAL GRADE.

-Given that the Master’s Degree
consists of both attendance-based and distance training, students are required
to attend the classroom sessions, unless they have applied for, and have been
granted, official exemption from class attendance. In this case, the evaluation
will be done as follows: participation through channels such as e-mail,
discussion forums, virtual platform, etc. (10%); oral or written exam (20%);
other forms of written work (50%); and oral presentation, either live or
recorded (20%). These rules are applicable to the students who, for duly justified reasons, have not been able to access the continuous assessment method specified above.

-Students
who do not submit a supervised project, or who fail
to submit at least 50% of the other tasks for assessment, or those who are unable to complete the main tasks, will be graded as
absent from assessment (NP: no presentado).

-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.

-As
the common guide says, the total competencies to be acquired in this subject
are: CB6, CB7, CB9, 
G01, G02, G04, G05, G06, G08, G09, G10, E09, E10, E11.  

-All assignments must be submitted in time and in the specified format in order to avoid a penalty 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.

Any plagiarized exercise or test will result in a failing grade (0) in this subject in accord with article 11, section 4b, of the  "Regulamento disciplinar do estudantado da UDC": "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".

Diversity: This module can be adapted to 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 schoolor faculty, or the Unidad de 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 ).

In accordance with the various regulations governing university teaching, it is necessary to incorporate a gender perspective intothis subject. This includes, among other measures, the use of non-sexist language, bibliographies that are inclusive from a gender perspective, and encouraging participation from allstudents 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.
