Assessment comments

Students must get at least 2 out of 5 in the exam and 2 out of 5 points in continuous evaluation parts, and the average must be at least 5. Written essays must be handed in before the deadline set by the teacher, and always before the course is over.

The essay, if there has been no presentation , is to be delivered by Dec 15th (and June 15th for the second opportunity).
NO COPYING. Original essays: 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.
For the July assessment students that have not done or passed any part earlier will have to take an exam (50% of the final mark) and do (written) exercises of textual analysis plus the project (25% max)

Those students that have already done acceptable exercises and essays or presentations will not have to write new ones.
Those students that fail or do not complete the first-chance (January) or second-chance (July) assessment will appear as Non Presentado only if they carried out or handed in less than 30% of the continuous assessment activities during the course (including both theory and practice classes). As established by the Vicerreitorado de Organización Académica e Titulacións, those students that fail in the first-chance assessment and do not take the second-chance tests will appear as "suspenso" .
DISPENSA ACADÉMICA: 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, should contact the teacher at the beginning of the course. These students will be assessed in either of the opportunities according to the same criteria specified for the second opportunity.

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

DIVERSITY: This module can be adapted to students who need support for their particular situation(physical, visual, auditory, cognitive, learning process, or related to mentalhealth). If necessary, students should contact the services available in UDC/in their school or faculty, or the Unidadde Atención a la Diversidad (ADI) at the beginning of each academic semester inthe 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.

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.
