IMPORTANT:

In order to pass this course, a minimum of 5 out of 10 in the final mark is required. A score of 4 out of 10 is the minimum required in each of the parts of the course (supervised project/oral presentation/mixed test).

Any academic dishonesty (plagiarism, cheating in exams, unacceptable use of AI, etc.) will be penalised with the mark of 0 (SUSPENSO) in both the first and the second opportunities, in accordance with the provisions of the "Regulamento disciplinar do estudantado da UDC" (article 11 4b). To detect plagiarism, the application Turnitin could be used. This application recognises papers previously turned in by other people (or the student him/herself) at this university or other universities.

Deadlines for assignments are strict. Late arrivals (up to 5 days) will be penalised (25% off the final mark), unless they are duly justified.

Extra-credit material carried out by the students during the course could be awarded up to an extra 5% of the final mark. This can include voluntary work, alternative readings, voluntary participation in forums or any other activity proposed and accepted by students and teachers.

The students who do not attend the official exam will be given a grade of NP (absent) if they have not submitted the supervised paper or the presentation.

The dates for the supervised projects, oral presentation and mixed objective tests will be announced well ahead of time.

July opportunity: Those students with less than a 4 in each of the parts evaluated in the course (even if the average is superior to 5) will have to sit for the "second opportunity exam session" in July, where students can retake those parts they have failed, according to the following distribution of percentages: Supervised project (20%), oral presentation (20%), mixed test about the contents of the course (60%).

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

Students who are officially registered as part time, and have been granted permission not to attend classes, as stipulated in the regulations of this University, will be assessed in either of the opportunities according to the same criteria specified for the second opportunity.

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 school or faculty, or the Unidade de Atención á Diversidade (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 ).

Gender equality: I will incorporate a gender perspective into this subject. This will include, among other measures, the use of non-sexist language, the selection of books and articles written by men and by women, as well as encouraging participation from all students in class, regardless of their gender. I will also try to identify and address sexist prejudices and attitudes and will actively work towards the modification of this environment and the promotion of values of respect and equality. In the event of gender discrimination, appropriate actions will be implemented to rectify such cases.
