Assessment comments
Students are required to contribute actively in the classes, which are designed as a resource to encourage them to acquire and assimilate the contents. 

First session
Students must obtain a passing grade (50%) on each section included in the assessment (workshop, speaking and mixed test). If they obtain a failing grade on any of these sections and even though the sum is greater than 5, the final grade for this session will not be higher than 4.5 out of 10. 

Students with a waiver on attendance 
Students with a waiver on attendance will be assessed in accordance with the section referring to the first session. Students must contact the teaching staff as soon as they have received official notification of the waiver. 


Second session
The same assessment method applies for the second session as for the first, and students must retake those sections of the subject in which they did not obtain a passing grade or which they did not sit. In the case of the Workshop, this will consist of an additional task that will be included in the mixed objective/subjective test (written exam).  

This is ONLY valid for the two opportunities corresponding to the current academic year.

Early exam session 
In the case of the early exam session, students must take a written exam (70%) and an oral exam (30%).

ABSENT 
Only those students that have not taken part in any of the activities and tasks that comprise the overall assessment of the subject will receive the consideration of ABSENT.  

 Academic dishonesty/plagiarism implication

Proven fraudulent practice in exams or assessment activities will automatically imply a failing grade for the corresponding exam session and subject. The student will be graded with a "fail" (numerical grade 0) for the corresponding academic year, regardless of whether the offence is committed in the first or second session. In this sense, the grade for the first session may be modified, if necessary. 

Diversity

 Students may request measures aimed  at supporting diversity (physical, visual, auditory, cognitive, learning or mental health-related). They should contact, the services available at the UDC, the Diversity Attention Unit (https://www.udc.es/cufie/ADI/apoioalumnado/) or, failing that, the tutor with responsibility for diversity at the Faculty of Tourism, within the time period stipulated for each teaching session.

Gender
perspective



In accordance with
the various regulations governing university teaching, it is necessary to
incorporate a gender perspective into this subject. This includes, among other
measures, the use of non-sexist language, bibliographies that are inclusive
from a gender perspective, and encouraging participation from all students in
class, regardless of their gender. We will pay
particular attention to identifying and addressing sexist prejudices and
attitudes. We will actively work towards the modification of this environment
and the promotion of values of respect and equality. Our efforts will
focus on detecting cases of gender discrimination and implementing appropriate
actions to rectify such cases.
