This subject requires a command of written and oral expression in Spanish equal to that obtained by a highschool 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.

a) Have submitted to all assessable tests.
b) Have obtained, at least, an average 3.5 in all three tests.
c) Having failed only one of the two evaluable tests [35%]. It will not be considered if monographic work [30%] has been suspended. If the final average mark is between 3.5 and 4.9, but you fail both tests [35% + 35%], you will not be able to appear for recovery.
The result of the recovery test will replace the mark of the failed test to calculate the final mark for the course.
The student who does not perform any of the activities or tests will be considered "Not evaluated". The preparation of an activity implies the student's will to be evaluated in the subject.
