This subject requires a command of written and oral expression in Spanish equal to that obtained by a high school graduate. In order to pass the subject, students must demonstrate a correct level of oral and written expression in Spanish. Consequently, spelling mistakes and errors of wording will be penalised by a reduction from the mark awarded.
Obviously, all the practical activities must be original. Plagiarism refers to the process of students attempting to pass off another authors work as their own. The total or partial plagiarism is not allowed. 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.

In order to pass the subject, students must acquire a knowledge of the subject similar to that stated in the reference manuals. Therefore, it is essential that students complete all mandatory readings.
Their knowledge will be evaluated through two partial exams and a monographic paper.
The two exams will represent 70% of the final grade, given that each of the partial exams will be equivalent to 35% of the grade.
The monographic work will have a weight of 30% in the final grade.
The re-evaluation will consist of an examination of all the subject of the course. In order to qualify for the re-evaluation exam, students must meet two requirements:
The grade of the re-evaluation exam will make average with the grade of the monographic work.

The review of the tests will be carried out during an interview with the teacher.
The student who has not performed or submitted any of the three required evaluable activities will be considered as Not Evaluable. The submission of any of the three activities implies the student's will to be evaluated in the subject.
