Assessment comments

In order to pass this course, a minimum of 5 out
of 10 in the final mark is required. A score of 4 out of 10 is
the minimum required in the mixed final test.

Any academic dishonesty (plagiarism, cheating in
exams, unacceptable use of AI, etc.) will be penalised with the mark of 0
(SUSPENSO) in both the first and the second opportunities
, in accordance
with the provisions of the "Regulamento disciplinar do estudantado da
UDC" (article 11 4b). To detect plagiarism, the application Turnitin could
be used. This application recognises papers previously turned in by other
people (or the student him/herself) at this university or other universities.

Deadlines for assignments are strict. Late arrivals
(up to 5 days) will be penalised (25% off the final mark), unless they are duly
justified.

The students who do not attend the official exam will
be given a grade of NP (absent) if they have not done
the presentation or the portfolio.

July opportunity: Those
students with less than a 4 in the exam (even if the average is superior to
5
) will have to sit for the "second opportunity exam session" in
July, where students can retake those parts they have failed, according to the
following distribution of percentages:  mixed test (50%), oral
presentation (25%), assignment equivalent to the portfolio (25%).
Specific
instructions for this opportunity will be published at the end of the semester.

Students sitting the December exam (final
exam brought forward) will be assessed according to the criteria specified for
the July opportunity.

Students who are officially registered as part
time
, 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.

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 school or faculty, or the Unidad
de Atención ala 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 ).

Gender equality: I will incorporate a gender perspective into this subject. This
will include, among other measures, the use of non-sexist language, the
selection of books and articles written by men and by women, as well as
encouraging participation from all students in class, regardless of their
gender. I will also try to identify and address sexist prejudices and attitudes
and will actively work towards the modification of this environment and the
promotion of values of respect and equality. In the event of gender
discrimination, appropriate actions will be implemented to rectify such
cases.
