A minimum mark of 4 in each part is required for the results to be added together.

Students who have been granted exemption, as specified in the university regulations, will be assessed according to the criteria applied in the July opportunity.

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

Students are encouraged to use recycled materials whenever possible.

Full-time students and part-time students can be examined according to the criteria for the July opportunity.

Students who don't sit the July or June final exam will receive, unless otherwise specified, the NO PRESENTADO as a final grade.

About plagiarism

In this subject, the Turnitin tool could be used in the evaluation of essays and activities. Based on the recommendations of the Xunta de Facultade, the following text is added for the students' consideration: Turnitin is an application for teachers to review parts of a text from other texts and indicate their origin. This tool can identify papers presented previously in this or other universities, including those written by the same student. If this circumstance occurs, it will be understood that it is contrary to academic honesty and will be applied to the academic regulations for evaluations, grades, etc.

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".

In accordance with the various regulations governing university teaching, it is necessary to incorporate a gender perspective intothis subject. This includes, among other measures, the use of non-sexist language, bibliographies that are inclusive from a gender perspective, and encouraging participation from allstudents 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.
