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.

-Every assignment must be turned in in time and in the specified format in order to avoid being penalized 25% of the grade in the assignment. 

-Fraud (e.g. plagiarism) will mean a grade of "zero." Instructors may use the plagiarism-detection service "Turnitin" to check students' work.

-A "Non presentado" (Absent) grade will be obtained for not doing the supervised project and/or not completing 50% (or more) of the coursework. 

-The July evaluation will have the same sections as in June, except for the seminar, which will be replaced by a reading-and-viewing exam.

-Given that this is a blended learning course, attendance is mandatory, except when the student has been granted exemption by the master's Academic University Committee. Students who have been granted exemption, as specified in the university regulations, will be assessed according to the criteria applied in the July opportunity.

-Students sitting the December exam (final exam brought forward) will be assessed according to the criteria specified for the July opportunity.

-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). 

-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.
