| Supervised projects | A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A7 A14 A27 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 C1 C3 C4 C6 C7 C8 | Along the course, different exercises, interactive activities and/or assignments will be requested. These assignments may deal with documents relevant to the subject matter. At the end of the course students will give an oral presentation of a project on a case or topic approved by the lecturer, which will be carried out throughout the course ( the guidelines will be given at the beginning of the classes). The continuous assessment will take into account all the activities carried out during the course for a better understanding and acquisition of concepts, such as questions, comments, exercises, research proposed by the teacher/professor, talks received, field experiences, tasks carried out, etc., including the final project. The following features will be considered for the assessment: oral presentation, written presentation, synthesis capacity, analysis capacity, personal contribution, coordination with classmates, rigour and updating of the sources used. |

The final grade consists of two parts: Continuous Assessment or course work and Mixed Test. Both formative feedback and summative feedback will be provided on course work. It is necessary to obtain at least a five (5) out of ten (10) in each of the 2 parts described above to pass the subject and to proceed to the calculation of the final grade based on the proposed percentages. Should the student fail one of the parts, the complete subject will be failed and the grade obtained in the part that was not passed, either Continuous Assessment or Objective Test, will be indicated as the final grade. Absent: Students who do not take the Objective Test will be graded with a "NP" (absent), regardless of having carried out, presented and exhibited other activities that account towards the assessment. Second Attempt: The assessment will be the same in the first and second attempt. The oral presentation will be made up on the day scheduled for the objective test. Should the student have passed any of the assessable parts at the first attempt, the mark will be kept for the second attempt. Early Call: The objective test will account for 100% of the grade. Students with academic exemption: Students with academic exemption from attendance, officially granted by the UDC according to its regulations, may do the compulsory work in non-attendance format, and submit it to the lecturer for assessment. In the event that they have not been able to make oral presentations during the course, an oral test will be held on the day scheduled for the objective test. Implications of academic fraud in the performance of assessment tests or activities: the fraudulent performance of assessment tests or any of the assessable activities, once verified, will directly imply a failing grade in the exam session in which the offence is committed and with respect to the subject in which it is committed: the student will be graded with a "fail" (numerical grade 0) in the corresponding exam session of the academic year, whether the offence occurs at the first or second opportunity. For this, the student's grade will be modified in the first opportunity report, if necessary. Attention to diversity: the subject may be adapted to students who require the adoption of measures aimed at supporting diversity (physical, visual, auditory, cognitive, learning or mental health-related). If this is the case, they must contact, within the official deadlines stipulated prior to each academic term, the services available at the UDC, the Diversity Attention Unit (https://www.udc.es/cufie/ADI/apoioalumnado/) or, failing that, the ADI Tutor in the Faculty of Tourism. Gender perspective: According to the different regulations applicable to university teaching, the gender perspective must be incorporated in this subject (non-sexist language will be used, bibliography of authors of both sexes will be used, the intervention of male and female students in class will be encouraged...). Work will be done to identify and modify sexist prejudices and attitudes and influence the environment to modify them and promote values of respect and equality. Situations of gender discrimination will be detected and actions and measures will be proposed to correct them. |
