| Methodologies |
| Methodologies | Description |
| Oral presentation | Core component of teaching-learning process involving coordinated oral interaction between student and teacher, including proposition, explanation and dynamic exposition of facts, topics, tasks, ideas and principles. |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | Oral presentation (using audiovisual material and student interaction) designed to transmit knowledge and encourage learning. Presentations of this type are variously referred to as ‘expository method’, ‘guest lectures’ or ‘keynote speeches’. (The term ‘keynote’ refers only to a type of speech delivered on special occasions, for which the lecture sets the tone or establishes the underlying theme; it is characterised by its distinctive content, structure and purpose, and relies almost exclusively on the spoken word to communicate its ideas.) |
| Seminar | Group work technique aimed at in-depth exploration of given topic, consisting of group discussion, individual engagement, preparation of texts and collective conclusions. |
| Document analysis | Research skills development involving use of audiovisual and/or bibliographical documents (documentary or film extracts, news items, advertising images, photographs, articles, legal texts, etc.) relating to specific topic of study, with targeted analysis activities. Used as introduction to topic, as focus for case study, to explain abstract processes and present complex situations, or as strategy for synthesising content (theoretical and practical). |
| Objective test | Written learning progress test, characterised by pre-determined answers. Well-designed tests offer objectively quantifiable results in relation to student knowledge, capacities, skills, performance, aptitudes, attitude, intelligence, etc. Used for diagnostic, formative and summative assessment. May consist of all or any of the following types of questions: multiple choice, ordering and sequencing, short answer, binary, completion, multiple matching. |

| Assessment | |||
| Methodologies | Competencies | Description | Qualification |
| Oral presentation | A5 A8 A9 A13 A18 A33 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 C1 C2 C3 | Students will carry out various interactive activities, exercises and/or assignments throughout the course, including a final project. The oral interventions carried out during the course, including the oral presentation of the assignments, will be assessed, resulting 20% of the final grade. The final project oral presentation is compulsory. |

| Objective test | A1 A2 A3 A5 A7 A8 A9 A13 A27 A30 A31 A33 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 | On the dates set for the exams, an objective test will be given to assess the knowledge acquired in the course. Questions may be one or a combination of several of these possibilities: short answer, essay, map tests or any type of test. Once passed, it will account for 40% of the final assessment. |
40 |
| Document analysis | A5 A8 A9 A18 A19 A27 A33 A34 A35 B1 B3 B6 | Students will also carry out several exercises and/or assignments relevant to the subject matter. The activities will be specifically designed for a better understanding of concepts and retention of the subject matter. Additionally students will write a final project on a destination, analysing its geographical and tourism reality. These activities carried out throughout the course will account for 40% of the final assessment. |

| Assessment comments | |||
|
The final grade consists of two parts: Continuous Assessment or course work (Analysis of documentary sources and oral presentation) and Objective 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. |
