VERY IMPORTANT REMARKS.

In general, it is necessary to reach a 4 in any of the tests for this to be taken into account and thus be computed with other points.xcept for class participation, the test that does not reach the grade specified in June will be retaken in July, so the average grade of the subject that appears in June may not exceed 4.9 points in any case, until that part of the matter is resat and passed. The rest of the grades obtained will be kept until July. Students who do not take the objective test, known here as the "final theoretical exam" in any of the two opportunities, and/or those students whose course work (work and participation) represents a percentage less than 50%, they will receive the grade of Not Presented (NP). The students who did take the mixed test and did not pass it, will receive the corresponding numerical grade and the grade of Fail.
The July opportunity, the second opportunity, will also consist of a written, mixed test, like the previous one, with theoretical and practical contents of the subject. This test will count for a maximum of 60 percent of the final grade. The other 40% of the opportunity in July will be obtained through specific assignments that will be specified at the time and that the examiner must deliver (a paper of 5-7 pages) no later than 72 hours before the day of the mixed test the objective to which we refer. The teachers reserve the right to check the level, veracity and originality of the work with a short oral test which, as a general rule, will be carried out on the same day of the exam. Students who have been granted exemption from attendance, as specified in the university regulations, will be assessed according to the criteria applied to the July opportunity. Students enrolled part-time, and who have obtained exemption should contact teachers at the very beginning of the course (never half-way through, nor at the end) to clarify their situation.
Testing conditions will not be modified for those students, in general, who have not previously certified their impossibility to attend regular classes or, in any case, those who have chosen to apply for the academic dispensation. Teachers will adapt the educational programme for these students, with reference to both the objective evidence and to the work they have to deliver or evaluative activities to be carried out. Also, teachers will establish rules to replace the percentages of activities resulting from the regular class attendance.
Students taking the course without an academic dispensation or justification must attend at least 90% of the sessions of the course, otherwise they will be directed to the July opportunity. The teacher can not arbitrate the opportunity to examine at the earliest opportunity to a student without dispensation that has not reached the aforementioned 90 percent attendance.
The essays, or the rest of written activities, that the teacher considers affected by the existence of plagiarism (copying), of any total or partial sources, will be rated invariably with the grade of 0.0 points, with no possibility of this mark being changed by writing a similar exercise. To detect plagiarism, the application Turnitin could beused. This application recognises papers previously turned in by other people(or the student him/herself) at this university or other universities.

 
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 evaluation of the written work of any kind is understood according to the following scale. A properly written test, though lacking contextualization or a mature literary background can not be considered sufficient to pass. a) Depth of analysis, maturity and consistency ... 4 points b) Comprehension and literary contextualization .. 3 points c) Style, originality and creativity ..............2 points d) Speech and Grammar Correction ................. 1 point Reading the actual texts does not sum points: it is a prerequisite of the course in order for students to be assessed. Oral activities for this subject are reduced to class participation and discussion, representing a maximum of 20 percent of the final grade, as stated. No specific oral exercices or oral presentations on this subject, either individually or collectively, will be taken. The basic tests will be always written tests. Full-time students and part-time students can be examined according to the criteria for the July opportunity in either of the two opportunities.

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 school or 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 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.
