| 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. -To pass the subject, you must obtain at least a 5 out of 10 in the two sections of the MIXED OBJECTIVE/SUBJECTIVE TEST, the WORKSHOP, the directed discussion, and the final grade. If in any of these sections the grade is less than 5, the global qualification that can be awarded will be a maximum of 4,5. -In the official JULY exam, each student must complete the section(s) that they did not pass at the first opportunity. There will be a theory test and a close-reading commentary; the group presentation will also be optional. The directed discussion and workshop sections will be replaced by an exam that relates the theories (or concepts) and the texts treated in class; said exam may be taken in January by students with matching subjects that can prove the impossibility of attending classes. -The students who sit for the early December call will be evaluated according to the rules specified for the July opportunity. -Students enrolled part-time and who have been granted an academic exemption should contact the teaching staff of the subject at the beginning of the course and they will be evaluated according to the criteria established for the July opportunity. -To NOT obtain the qualification of "Did Not Sit", the student must do at least half of the scoring work. -All assignments must be submitted in time and in the specified format in order to avoid a penalty of 25% on the grade obtained. -Any lack of academic honesty (plagiarism, cheating in exams, etc.) will be penalized in accordance with the provisions of the “Norms for the assessment, review and claim of qualifications for undergraduate and graduate degrees” (Article 14). In short, the overall grade will be: FAILED (0). -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. -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. |
