In order to pass this course, students must complete at least 50% of the assessment tasks. Students who do not complete at least 50% of the assessment tasks or who do not submit the supervised project or the oral presentation will be given a grade of NP (absent). 

Students are expected to complete all the assignments and readings suggested by the lecturer(s), and to come to the sessions prepared to discuss them. Students must visit the eLearning platform for the course regularly. Students are expected to check their university email on a regular basis: announcements and last-minute changes will be notified via email.

Academic misconduct (including cheating, plagiarism, collusion or fabrication of results) will not be tolerated and will be penalised. Essays and written assignments may be tested through Turnitin in order to detect wrong citations, plagiarism or any other type of fraud. Should this occur, the rules for plagiarism will be applied. Turnitin recognises papers previously turned in by other people (or the student him/herself) at this university or other universities, as well as other material found on the Internet.

All the written activities must meet the minimum requirements of linguistic correctness (spelling and grammar, punctuation, syntax, lexical precision, or formal register). 

Students who fail to pass the subject in January will be required to take the “second opportunity” in July, with the following distribution of percentages: 1) supervised project (40%); 2) oral presentation (35%); 3) take-home activity/ies (25%). The same percentages apply to the december 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.
