• The second opportunity of assesment (in July) will consist of the following sections--all to be completed on the official date of the final exam:
1) a written exam with identical design and criteria to the final exam in the first opportunity, which will also be worth 40% of the grade; 2) an argumentative piece of writing about the readings done during the semester, which will substitute for the "Supervised projects" and "Directed discussion" sections in the first opportunity and which will be worth 60% of the grade.
• A grade of "Non Presentado" (Absent) will be obtained by not attending the exam and/or by completing less than 50% of the coursework.
• A 5 (or higher) out of 10 constitutes a passing grade. However, in the first opportunity, a minimum grade of 4 out of 10 must be obtained in the “Mixed test” in order to pass the course. In the second opportunity, this same minimum grade must be obtained in section 1 of the assessment.
• Students will have the opportunity to earn up to 1 extra point that would be added to their course's final grade. More information will be provided in class and via Moodle at the beginning of the semester.
• Students officially enrolled part-time who have been granted an official dispensation from attending classes will need to contact the teachers at the beginning of the semester and they 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.

-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.
