Activitats d'avaluació:

The final grade will be the weighted average of the results from all individual and group assignments. The submission of at least three of the six assignments is mandatory.

The non-submission of an assignment will be graded 0.

Criteris específics de la nota «No Presentat»:
Students will be graded as "Absent" if:
a) the student does not attend any of the excursions, OR
b) the student submits less than three of the six (individual and group) assignments.

Avaluació única:
The single assessment will consist of two activities:

1. A final exam that must be passed with a minimum grade of 4.
2. A report that integrates the various activities and contents of the course. This report has to be carried out individually and delivered in a task enabled in the Moodle platform prior to the finalisation of the course.

The exam and the report will each weigh 50% of the final grade.

Requisits mínims per aprovar:
To be considered passed the subject, a minimum grade of 5.0 must be obtained.

Online and in-person tutoring sessions can be requested via email with sufficient notice to the course lecturers: lena.hommes@udg.edu and federica.ravera@udg.edu

Guidance can be used to:

- Clarify concepts
- Expand information
- Discuss the assignments
- Discuss the grades

Messages and announcements addressed to students will be delivered through the messaging tools in the Moodle platform.

Students can use instant messaging tools on the same platform or email to communicate with lecturers.

The course will link theory to real world examples. It will combine different learning methods including lectures, seminars by invited experts, group work on case studies, excursions, and active participation in the Global Week organized by the study program. The lectures will introduce main topics and theories, which will then be applied to real world cases by students. Besides the main lecturers, other experts will be invited to class so that students can benefit from different perspectives, approaches and voices. The other learning activities will further complement, inviting reflexive learning and promoting the independence of the student.

Support materials used by professors during the lectures as well as background reading will be made available to students through the Moodle platform. This complementary material can be useful for the students to review the course topics, to deepen their understanding through the reading, and for the preparation of the evaluation activities.
