4- The regulation and distribution of care
5- Future scenarios of the interaction between care and gender

The evaluation process is based on the student's personal work and presupposes the authenticity of the authorship and the originality of the exercises carried out. The lack of authenticity in the authorship or originality in the evaluation tests; I copy or plagiarize it; the fraudulent attempt to obtain a better academic result; collaboration, concealment or favoring of copying, or the use of unauthorized material, software or devices during the evaluation, among others, are irregular behaviors in the evaluation that may have serious academic and disciplinary consequences.
These irregular behaviors can result in the suspension (note D/0) in the evaluable activities defined in the teaching plan -including the final tests- or in the final grade of the subject, either because materials, software or Unauthorized devices during the tests, such as social networks or internet search engines, because fragments of text have been copied from an external source (internet, notes, books, articles, works or tests of other students, etc.) without citation corresponding, or because any other irregular conduct has been carried out.
The subject can only be approved by following and passing the continuous evaluation (EC). The final qualification of the subject is the grade obtained in the EC.
The continuous evaluation consists in the realization of all the proposed PACS.
* In case of doing the exercise of the first block and not being able to continue, prior notification to the teacher, the possibility of having a No Presented can be considered
* From the completion of the first two PACS, the final mark of the subject will be the result of the average of all the exercises, also those not delivered, based on their % on the weight of the mark.
