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 all sections of the assessment system (final written exam, workshop and the two sections of the oral 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

-Students will be evaluated as followed: 50% written exam, 20% oral exam and 20% continuous evaluation activities(workshop).

-Those students who have passed any of these parts, either the written exam, the oral test or the continuous evaluation activities in the first opportunity, will have the opportunity to maintain them for the second opportunity.

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
