-To compute the final grade which will be awarded to the exam, students must have passed most of the activities of the subject. If they fail the course, all activities not done, as well as the final exam, must be recovered in July.

-Students need 3 out of 7 (workshop +essay) and 1.1 out of 3 in the exam so that such marks may compute. And, once added, obviously 5 out of 10 to pass.

Those who are officially registered as part-time students, and have been granted permission not to attend classes, as stipulated in the regulations of this University, will be assessed in either of the opportunities according to the same criteria specified for the second opportunity (see below).

Students who do not sit their tests in January or July will be scored "No presentado", unless more than 30% of the activities (essay included) during the course have been submitted, in which case they will be scored "suspenso" (for instance, when the essay and just a few exercises have been delivered).

-Assignments should be submitted in a timely manner to avoid being automatically disqualified.

_The essay is to be submitted before Dec 15.

In case of plagiarism (i.e. copying) in the written work or workshop exercises, oral presentation, or mixed test, students will be automatically graded as "suspenso". Work may be tested through Turnitin in order to detectwrong citations, plagiarism or any other type of fraud. Should this occur, therules for plagiarism will be applied. (Normasde avaliación, revisión e reclamación das cualificacións dos estudos de grao emestrado universitario). Turnitin recognises papers previouslyturned in by other people (or the student him/herself) at this university orother universities, as well as other material found on Internet.

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.

-The only language used in class work and examinations will be English.

-Students are required to present linguistically accurate work (including correct spelling, punctuation, etc.) appropriate to their level of studies. Failure to do so will bring penalization.

Students who have not attended classes regularly and sit only the July opportunity, will be assessed in the following way:

An essay (30%) delivered before the period of exams starts, an exam (30%) and some extra exercises (40%) done on the day of the exam . Only the exams, exercises and essays SCORED 5 /10 or above will be considered PASSED.

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).

-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.
