This subject aims to introduce the gender perspective in its content and development. In addition, the objectives are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations.

Evaluation and qualification systems
Evaluation system Minimum weighting Maximum weighting
SE1. Electronic portfolio 10% 40%
SE2. Oral presentation 20% 50%
SE3. Examen 30% 60%
SE4. Self evaluation 5% 30%
SE5. Peer assessment (2P2) or co-assessment 5% 30%

In order to pass the subject, you must obtain a score of at least 5/10 in the exam. Failure to appear in the exam constitutes a "DON'T PRESENT" and the student will not be able to appear for recovery. According to current regulations, only students who have achieved a failing grade during the ordinary assessment can take the make-up exam. The activities that make up the continuous assessment cannot be recovered.

The total or partial copy of the learning activities will mean a "NOT PRESENTED" in the subject without the option to take the recovery test and without prejudice to the opening of a file for this reason.
