1. CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

The CONTINUOUS assessment of Regional Tourism Policies is based on the following system:

1. Two activities over the semester observing the corresponding deadlines (which will be announced in advanced). These activities represent 40% of the final grade. They are optional although… (see conditions to pass the subject).
2. An oral presentation represents 20% of the final grade. It is optional although… (see conditions to pass the subject).
3. A written task which represents 40% of the final grade. It combines the search for specific information and a critical essay based on this information, and on theoretical content from both the topics explained in class and the oral presentations. This task is compulsory.

The student will have to achieve the following conditions to pass the subject:

1. A minimum of 50% of the final essay will be required. Otherwise, the student will have to attend the final evaluation. WARNING: this esay is compulsory so not doing it means that the student cannot pass the subject in any ulterior opportunity (they will not be allowed to take the final evaluation nor the re-evaluation).
2. The first two activities are optional. However, not to submit means that these partial grades won’t be added to the final grade. On the final evaluation, only 1 activity that hasn’t been done before can then be delivered.
3. The oral presentation is also optional. However, not to do it means that this partial grade won’t be added to the final grade. It also means that there won’t be an ulterior opportunity to do it. The oral presentation must be done during the teaching calendar.
4. Finally, all the delivered activities must use the basic skills required in a Bachelor’s Degree (like oral communication or the abilities to synthesize, to argue an opinion, to properly write, to prepare formal presentations and properly cite bibliographical references). Therefore, the professor will have the final say on the evaluation and will value whether the activity meets these basic requirements.

Warning: The official calendar published by the establishment includes two different dates: one for the final evaluation and another for the re-evaluation. The final evaluation allows to retake the written task (essay) and submit one of the optional activities (except the oral presentation).

Regarding the re-evaluation exam (and following UAB regulations), it is important to remember that:

1. The professor will decide of the modality, which in this case it will be an exam.
2. Only those students whose final evaluation is equal or greater than 3.5 and below 5 will be able to access to the re-evaluation. It is not a mean to improve the final grade.
3. The final grade of the student attending the re-evaluation will not exceed 5 in the record.

2. SINGLE EVALUATION

The SINGLE evaluation of Regional Tourism Policies is based on the following system:

1. A book review, equivalent to 40% of the final grade, about a book chosen froma list that will be provided on the first day of class. This review will be delivered in Moodle on the day of the final exam.
2. A written test on theoretical knowledge, equivalent to 60% of the final grade. It will take place on the day of the final exam.

The recovery of the subject by single evaluation will be the same as that of the rest of the students: In order to take the re-evaluation, it will be necessary to have obtained at least a 3.5 in the final grade of the single evaluation.

 

The grade for the subject will be NOT EVALUABLE when the student attends less than half of the assessment activities and/or does not attend the final exam.
