Assessment comments | |||
Students will be evaluated throughout the course with no more than four activities as well as by means of a final exam. In order to pass this course, students must have at least a score of 4 out of 10 in the exam. They must have also handed in and passed (with 5) half the required activities. Deadlines for assignments are strict. Late arrivals will be penalised (25% of the mark), unless they are duly justified. Academic misconduct will be penalised according to the "Normas de avaliación, revisión e reclamación das cualidicacións dos estudos de grao e mestrado universitario" (art. 14). Any plagiarized exercise or test will result in a failing grade (0) in this subject in accord with article 11, section 4b, of the "Regulamento disciplinar do estudantado da UDC":
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. There will be a penalisation as well if the student does not show a good command of English, the one required according to the Memoria de Verificación del Título (C1). Those students who do not attend the official exam in January or July will be given a grade of NP (absent) if they have not handed in more than 50% of the continuous assessement activities. Students sitting the December exam (final exam brought forward) will be assessed according to the criteria specified for the July opportunity. July opportunity: Students who do not pass in January will have another opportunity in July in which both the final exam (60%) and an activity (40%) will be taken into account. Students who have previously passed the activities for continuous evaluation will not have to hand them in again. Part-time students who have been granted officially "dispensa académica" (exemption) as stated in the University regulations will be evaluated in either of the opportunities according to the criteria established for the second opportunity (July). Part-time students with "dispensa académica" must contact the teacher at the beginning of the first semester (imoskowich@udc.es). Diversity: This module can be adapted for 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 faculty, or the Unidad de Atención a la 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 ). -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. |
