Students are required to contribute actively in the classes, which are designed as a resource to encourage them to acquire and assimilate the contents. Conditions to pass the subject: First exam session: 1. The minimum passing grade in each of the following sections "oral test", "student portfolio" and "seminar" will have to be 40%. The average of these sections has to reach 5 points out of 10 to make an average with the mixed objective/subjective test (= written exam). 2. It is compulsory to reach 50% in the mixed objective/subjective test to make an average with the sections mentioned in section1. 3. If they obtain a failing grade on any of these sections and even though the sum is greater than 5, the final grade for this session will not be higher than 4.5 out of 10. Assessment exercises deadlines All the assessment exercises of the course handed in after the deadline will not be accepted if it is not dully justified. Works with evidence of plagiarism will receive a 0. Specific programs will be used to detect it. Students will only be awarded ABSENT if they have not taken part in the mixed objective/subjective test (written exam), in the oral exam nor have they handed in more than 50% of the activities which are part of the continuous assessment system. Students who are not obliged to meet the attendance requirement because they are exempt according to the regulations published by the Universidade da Coruña ((Art.3.be 4.5) Standards for evaluation, review and claim of qualifications of two studies, university degrees and university courses (art.3 and 8b)) will have the same evaluations system as those students who attend July opportunity. In the case of the early exam session, students must take a written exam (70%) andan oral test (30%). Second exam session: -Those students who have passed any of these parts, either the written exam, the oral test, or the continuous evaluation activities in the first exam session, will have the opportunity to maintain them for the second opportunity. Students will therefore be required to retake those sections of the subject in which they did not obtain a passing grade or those parts they did not undertake and get a minimum passing grade (50%). -This is ONLY valid for the two opportunities corresponding to the current academic year. In the case of the early examination session, students must take a written exam (70%) andan oral test (30%). Academic integrityStudents are reminded that the use of all aids or devices in the final exam is strictly forbidden. The use of any unauthorised aids will automatically result in a failing grade (0). All dishonest practices (including, but not limited to, plagiarism, cheating in exams, etc.) will be penalised pursuant to article 14 of the University of ACoruña’s academic regulations ( Normas de avaliación, revisión e reclamación dás cualificacións dos estudos de grao e mestrado universitario ). Attention to Diversity The subject may beadapted for students that require the adoption of measures aimed at supporting diversity (physical, visual, hearing, cognitive, learning or related to mental health). In such cases, students should contact the services available at the University of A Coruña / their centre/faculty within the official periods stipulated to this effect prior to the start of each semester. UDC student disciplinary regulations (Article 11, section 4 b) A failing grade in the examination attempt in which the dishonest act for the subject in which it was committed: the student will be graded as "fail" (numerical grade 0) in the corresponding examination attempt of the academic year, whether the dishonest act is made in the first examination attempt or in the second one. In such a case, the final grade corresponding to the first examination attempt will be modified, if necessary. Gender perspective 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. |
