In this subject, gender perspective will be taken into account in the following aspects:
- Not allowing a sexist use of language in the students’ oral and written contributions.
- Writing, in the references, the full names of authors, instead of only the initial.
Preparation of work and practical exercises:
Autonomous work, compulsory delivery by the students following the indications of the teaching calendar. They will not change regardless of whether the teaching is face-to-face or virtual.
Theory: lecture in the classroom.
Master classes in the classroom, laboratory practices and field practices. They will be adapted, if necessary, in whatever percentage, to virtual teaching, through the various existing systems (Teams, narrated powerpoints, videos, podcasts, etc.), as has been done in the confinement period.
Field trips:
Field trips: compulsory, 2 part-time and one 4-day. The latter is associated with a previous task by the students consisting of a work, of a collective nature (maximum 3 people per group) and subject to evaluation, related to the place to visit. During the outing each group will present their conclusions to the rest of the class.

Comments
1. To be evaluated, all the practices must be delivered within the established deadlines.
2. In order to be entitled to the recovery exam, students must have obtained an average grade of the subject equal to or greater than 3,5. In this case, all the suspended parts must be recovered up to a maximum of 3 tests (who has suspended more than 3 partial tests will not have the right to submit to the recovery and will have a suspense of the subject). Otherwise (if an average 3,5 were not obtained), the subject will be considered suspended
3. In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
4. Attendance at all field trips is essential to be evaluated, therefore non-attendance at any of them implies a non-evaluable.
5. The student will receive the grade of non-assessable as long as he / she has not submitted more than 30% of the assessment activities
6. Any particular case will be considered by the teachers in order to ensure fair treatment and avoid harm to students.
In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
