Students should be aware, however, that not attending certain classroom sessions may affect their final grades.</p><p>Students who have been<b> granted exemption</b>, as specified in the university regulations, will be assessed as follows: Activities related to the course syllabus (20%) and an individual written research paper (80%). The research paper must also be presented orally.</p><p>Students who&nbsp;do&nbsp;not submit a supervised project, or who fail to submit at least 50% of the other tasks for assessment, will be graded as absent from assessment (NP: no presentado).</p><p>Students who&nbsp;do&nbsp;not pass in the first opportunity will be able to <b>re-sit in July,</b> when they will be required to demonstrate that they have acquired the skills for each module:</p><ul>

  • <i>Turnitin</i>&nbsp;is a tool for staff to use in order to check sections of written work originating in other texts and locating the sources. It is a useful way of detecting plagiarism. Its use is optional, but students are to be warned in the teaching guide that it is able to detect pieces of work previously presented in this or any other university, including work by the same student (for any subjectmatter). If coincidences are found, this will be understood as academic fraud, and the regulations concerning academic assessment, grading and complaints on testing will be applied.&nbsp;
  • With this warning, students are hereby informed of the academic consequences.
