In accordance with section 6.1.4 of Article 6 of the Regulations governing the official Bachelor's and Master's degrees at UDC, approved by the Governing Council on June 27, 2012, 'the Master's thesis can be defended and evaluated once it has been reliably confirmed that the student has successfully completed all the credits of the degree, except for those of the Master's thesis.'

Prior to the completion of the Master's thesis, it is necessary to submit a preliminary project through the established channels designated by the department for evaluation by the Thesis Management Committee. After evaluation, the aforementioned project must be subsequently approved by the committee.

The work, consisting of an original project carried out individually by each student, must be within the scope of the competencies, knowledge, technologies, and specific tools of the degree. Thus, it should be oriented towards the application of the general competencies associated with the degree in a professional manner.

This work will be evaluated by the committee appointed by the center on the date, location, and time specified in the Regulations for Bachelor's and Master's Theses for the Master's Degree in Computer Engineering at the Faculty of Informatics in A Coruña.

In the event that a student receives a failing grade, the jury will provide a report with appropriate recommendations for the improvement of the work and its subsequent evaluation. A copy of this report will also be sent to the person or persons who supervised the Master's thesis.

The review and/or appeal of the final grades for the Master's theses will be carried out in accordance with the regulations of UDC.

Plagiarism:

The fraudulent execution of tests or assessment activities, once proven, will result in a direct failing grade in the examination in which it was committed. The student will be given a grade of "suspenso" (numeric grade 0) in the corresponding academic year's examination, whether the offense occurs in the first opportunity or the second. In order to do so, the student's grade will be modified in the first opportunity's record, if necessary.

Equality

According to the various applicable regulations for university teaching, the gender perspective should be incorporated into this subject (using non-sexist language, using bibliographic references from authors of both genders, encouraging the participation of male and female students in class).

Efforts will be made to identify and modify prejudices and sexist attitudes, and the environment will be influenced to change them and promote values of respect and equality.

Situations of gender-based discrimination should be identified, and actions and measures should be proposed to correct them.
