About plagiarism

In this subject, the Turnitin tool could be used in the evaluation of essays and activities. Based on the recommendations of the Xunta de Facultade, the following text is added for the students' consideration: Turnitin is an application for teachers to review parts of a text from other texts and indicate their origin. This tool can identify papers presented previously in this or other universities, including those written by the same student. If this circumstance occurs, it will be understood that it is contrary to academic honesty, and the academic regulations for evaluations, grades, etc. will be applied.

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": "Cualificación de suspenso na convocatoria en que se cometa a falta e respecto da materia en que se cometese: o/a estudante será cualificado con “suspenso” (nota numérica 0) na convocatoria correspondente do curso académico, tanto se a comisión da falta se produce na primeira oportunidade como na segunda. Para isto, procederase a modificar a súa cualificación na acta de primeira oportunidade, se fose necesario".

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 schoolor 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 intothis subject. This includes, among other measures, the use of non-sexist language, bibliographies that are inclusive from a gender perspective, and encouraging participation from allstudents 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.
