Qualificació

Important to remember:

1.If a student has a mean grade of 5 or over 5 but has a mark lower than 4.5 in the 2nd oral exam (the one held in late May), they will have to re-sit only the ORAL EXAM in late June.

2.If the mean grade is lower than 5 because of the grammar block, they will have to re-sit only that part.

3.If the mean grade is lower than 5 because the student has had a poor performance in both blocks, they will have to re-sit both the grammar and the oral block.

4.If the mean grade is 4.8 or 4.9: The teacher will look at the mark from attendance and participation and will decide whether the student will have to re-sit exams in accordance with the students’ engagement in the course. If the mean grade is lower than 4.8, students will have to go to re-sits.

5.At re-sits (both written and oral), students will have to take a comprehensive exam of all the year. The marks accumulated throughout the course will count for nothing at re-sits. The maximum grade that can be obtained at re-sits is a 6.

Requisits mínims per aprovar:
Per considerar superada l’assignatura, caldrà obtenir una qualificació mínima de 5.0

To pass the subject, students must have a minimum grade of 5.

Tutoria

Students will have two hours of tutorials per week. They can book a fifteen or thirty-minute time slot to be with the teacher and make their consultations.

Students must book their tutorial beforehand by using the schools's booking system for tutorials.

Faculty will get a message informing about time slots booked and by what students.

Tutorials can be held face-to-face in the centre or online through streaming as requested by students.

Students should go to these tutorials well-prepared with doubts and queries; in no way are these tutorials meant to be repetition of lessons for those learners who failed to attend in due time.

Comunicacio i interacció amb l'estudiantat

Faculty and students can get in touch with each other through different channels. On a regular basis students use the email of our virtual campus or the gmail of the centre. We also communicate by writing side comments on GOOGLE shared documents.

If lessons are held on line, what can be used is the FORUM of the moodle or the chats of HANGOUTS or MEET.

For sessions on streaming we tend to use HANGOUTS or MEET.

Another channel of communication is the tutorials mentioned above.

Observacions

There will be two groups for English lessons with the aim to reinforce interaction between teacher and students and promote conversation and oral practice in class.
The level in the first year of the Degree in Tourism is B2.1.

Modificació del disseny

Modificació de les activitats:
Activities will be the same if lessons have to be held on line because of another hypothetical lockdown situation. In that case, the amount of hours counted in the face-to-face modality will be reverted to hours with virtual teacher.

Modificació de l'avaluació:
Evaluation tasks will be maintained. The only thing that will differ is that exams will be held online through Google forms. If that happens, exams will be administered by means of different google forms, and timings will be tightened to avoid possible cheating.

Tutoria i comunicació:
Tutorials will be held online in the advent of another lockdown situation. The booking system will work as usual.
