Activitats d'avaluació: Descripció de l'activitat Avaluació de l'activitat % The class will have a total of 14 lessons, 10 of which will be dedicated to masterclasses by the professor or invited speakers -either physically or online- from specific experiences in Palestine, Philppines, Perú and South East Asia. Attendance to each lesson will report 3% of the total mark of the subject, adding up to a maximum 30% for this concept. 30 It is of the highest relevance for the program and the learning process that students get used to reading academic journals and specialized literature, most of them in English, in order to stay up-to-date in regards to the class topic. Therefore, 2 sessions will develop in form of reading seminars, where the students will present and discuss assigned readings. Active participation will be requested in the debates, in order to commment, support, or criticize the readings, always with appropriate arguments. 20 Groups of 5 students will develop a project from either of the following 3 types: 1) Selection of a study area (country, region, etc.) and production of a written document and slideshow presentation, with the objective of analyzing the impact of tourism on the destination's society, on its development indexes and the relevance and role of responsible tourism within it. 2) Production of an tourism assessment document and slideshow presentation for selected experiences of responsible tourism in Perú, Argentina, Colombia and Catalonia. 3) Production of a project proposal and slideshow presentation based on solidarity / responsible tourism and suitable for UdG's yearly international development funds call. Deliverable documents will have an extension of 20 pages maximum, including the references section. Slideshow presentations will take place the last 2 sessions of the class, under the extended Pecha Kucha format: 30 slides, 20 seconds per slide. Working language for the manuscript, the slideshow file and the presentation will be English exclusively. Aesthetic quality, as well as written and oral expression will be determinant factors for the mark in these tasks. After the 2 presentation sessions, every work group will send a text document to the professor, including comments, observations and a grade -totally anonymous- for the group projects of the rest of classmates. 50
The subject's final mark results from the addition of the partial marks derived from the evaluation activities in the program: attendance and participation in class and in reading seminars; work group projects. Written and oral expression in English will be relevant factors in the grading process. Those not reaching the continuous evaluation approval level will alternatively have to pass and exam (75% of the grade) and an additional home assignment (25%). Students not attending class for professional or personal circumstances will be evaluated up to a maximum of 90% of the total mark. Criteris específics de la nota «No Presentat»:Concerning continued evaluation tasks: 1. Non participation in the 2 reading seminars 2. Non participation in / failure of the work group project 3. Non attendance to more than 5 sessions Concerning the final evaluation option: 4. Non attendance to the exam and/or non delivery of the final individual assignment.
For a proper following of the class a significant control of the English language is recommended; in written, spoken and listening forms, as most of the readings and some of the invited presentation will be in this language.
