IMPORTANT In order to pass this course a minimum of 5 out of 10 in the final mark is needed. A mark of 4 out of 10 is the minimum required in each of the parts of the course: exam and supervised projects. In addition, in order to pass this subject, students must complete at least 50% of the supervised projects (assignments). Students who do not sit for the official exam will be given a grade of NP (absent) if they have not handed in 50% of the assignments. According to the modification of section 4b of article 11 of the UDC Student Disciplinary Regulations, the student who commits any academic dishonesty (plagiarism, copying in exams, etc.) will be graded with " fail " (numerical grade 0) in the corresponding call of the academic year, whether the offense is committed in the first opportunity or in the second one. For this, the grade will be modified in the first opportunity report, if necessary. 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. July opportunity: In this opportunity students can retake the parts they have failed. The distribution of percentages will be the same: exam (40%)/ supervised projects (60%). The projects in the second opportunity might be different to the ones carried out throught the course. 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. Students sitting the December exam (final exam brought forward) will be assessed according to the criteria specified for the July opportunity. 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 school or faculty, or the Unidad de Atención ala 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 ). Gender inclusivity 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. |
