Evaluation systems
The ordinary evaluation system is Continuous Evaluation for all students. Global Evaluation (no class attendance required) is limited to students from previous courses and, in some very special cases, students who are explicitly authorized by the Academic Board of Directors to undergo global evaluation in this subject.
For Continuous Evaluation, a minimum of 80 % class attendance is required, regardless of any justification for non-attendance. Only those absences which are legally justified and confirmed by the Academic Board of Directors will not be counted as non-attendance. Students who do not meet the attendance requirement will lose the benefits and partial grades of Continuous Evaluation and must sit a Global Evaluation, without any further re-sit.
In the event that a non-attendance reported by the Academic Board of Directors affects an assessment activity, an alternative will be considered to the extent that the activity requires it.
In the case of students with special needs and whose situation has been communicated by the Academic Direction, an appropriate adaptation of the evaluation will be considered in order to guarantee equal opportunities.
The final marks of Continuous Evaluation will be communicated before the end of the teaching period, and in any case before the Global Evaluation period begins.
Both in Continuous Evaluation and in Global Evaluation there is an option of re-evaluation (re-sit) if the passing grade is not reached; the conditions are detailed below.
Any fraudulent practice in any of the evaluable exercises, presentations, tests, exams, etc. will result in a zero fail mark in the subject and the student will not be entitled to any further re-evaluation (Re-sit exam) for this course.
The official timetables for the global exams and re-evaluation exams of EUHT StPOL undergraduate subjects (January, April and May) are binding, and no time or date will be modified for any personal reasons (e.g. driving licence exam, private travel, common illness, etc.). In any event, modifications must be previously authorised by the Academic Director and will only be made for very serious reasons of health or force majeure.
The Continuous Evaluation consists of:
A. The First Term Exam (to be set in December-February) is 35% of the Final Continuous Evaluation mark. It covers the study period September to January (75% written and 25% oral). It is obligatory to sit both parts of the exam together (oral+written).
B. The Second Term Exam (to be set in May) is 35% of the Final Continuous Evaluation mark. It covers the study period February to May (75% written and 25% oral). It is obligatory to sit both parts of the exam together (Oral+Written).
C. The Evaluated exercises, tasks, and student participation is from September to May: 30% (4-6 activities).
The First Term Exam mark is part of the Final Evaluation mark in May (35%). A student who fails the first term exam, continues the course and sits the Second Term Exam in May.
The final mark will be the average of A+B+C.
There is no individual Re-sit.
The students who fail the Continuous Evaluation in May will be re-evaluated in the Continuous Re-sit Evaluation (Reevaluación), also in May, which covers all the work studied from September to May (oral test 25% and written test 75%).
The Continuous Evaluation students who do not have 80% attendance will be evaluated in the Continuous Re-sit Evaluation (Reevaluación) in May.
This includes all the work covered from September to May (oral test 25% and written test 75%).
There is no further re-sit for students who fail this exam.
Ex-students or repeat students (previous years) and /or special cases (students authorized by the Academic Board of Directors) must undergo a Global Evaluation (Recuperación) in May. This includes all the work covered throughout the year from September to May. Both parts (oral test 25% and written test 75%) are obligatory for the Evaluation mark.
If these students fail the Global Evaluation, they will be re-evaluated in the Global Re-sit (Reevaluación) which will be subject to the same conditions as the Global Evaluation.
Criteris específics de la nota «No Presentat»:
A student who does not sit any of the test applicable –Continuous or Global Evaluation– (ordinary or re-sit) or parts of these exams (oral or written) will be considered “Not presented”.
Avaluació única:
The ordinary evaluation system is Continuous Evaluation for all students. Global Evaluation (no class attendance required) is limited to students from previous courses and, in some very special cases, students who are explicitly authorized by the Academic Board of Directors to undergo global evaluation in this subject.

Tutoria
Tutorial meetings can be requested by sending an e-mail directly to the teacher of the subject. Tutorials may be carried out either in person or remotely through an appropriate channel.
Comunicacio i interacció amb l'estudiantat
During the class hour, all necessary instructions will be given to follow up on the subject. If necessary, an e-mail will be sent to the whole class or to the students concerned.
Observacions
In order to enrol for the 4th Year English course, Professional English for the Hospitality Industry – from 2023-24, students are required to have successfully passed both the B2 (1st Year) and C1 (2nd Year) evaluations. Attendance to the 4th Year course for unregistered students is permitted, but there is no evaluation system for them until they are allowed to enrol on this course.
Modificació del disseny
Modificació de les activitats:
The design of the subject has been made for teaching in UdG scenario 1-Presential.
In the event that scenarios with limited or non-attendance are declared, the degree of virtual teaching will be increased accordingly, through the platform chosen by the school for this purpose. In this case, priority will be given to classroom attendance as far as is reasonably possible and permitted, and the scheduled class sessions will be respected, which will be the contact times for students/teachers to carry out the same activities.
Modificació de l'avaluació:
In the event that the evaluation activities cannot be carried out presentially, these same activities will be carried out on the same day and at the same time as planned, using non-presential channels. Two weeks before the date, the students concerned will be informed of the channel that will be used to carry out the activity.
Tutoria i comunicació:
Tutoring and communication with students will take place in all scenarios as defined in the Tutoring and Communication section.
