Qualificació

The English language courses at the UdG’s Faculty of Tourism are based on the following system of Continuous Assessment:

ATTENDANCE & WORK IN PROGRESS 40%: Students are awarded 20% of their final mark by coming to all class sessions and 20% for completing the work assigned in and out of the classroom. Daily assignments given throughout the semester correspond to 6 units from the LIFE course book plus the 6 Tourism Modules on the course Moodle. Examples of work to be done include readings, writings, oral presentations, individual and group activities, videos with follow-up activities, weekly quizzes on the 4 skills (Reading, Writing, Listening & Speaking) and class debates.

EVALUATED TESTS 60%: In addition to work done in and out of class, students are awarded 60% of their final mark by taking a series of evaluated tests:
15%: Reading Test 1 (5%), Reading Test 2 (10%)
15%: Listening Test 1 (5%), Listening Test 2 (10%)
15%: Writing Test 1 (5%), Writing Test 2 (10%)
15%: 1 Oral Test (4.5%) 1 Oral Presentation (3%), 1 Oral Exam (7.5%)

In this way, each of the 4 skills have a total weight of 15%, with all 4 parts totaling 60% of the final mark. Students must pass each of the 4 skills with a minimum mark of 5/10.

Students can retake parts or all of the exam which they have failed at the scheduled Examen de recuperació (see the syllabus for exact times and dates) in order to reattempt to pass the course.

Continued Assessment is calculated by ATTENDANCE & WORK IN PROGRESS 40% + EVALUATED TESTS 60% = 100%. Therefore:

Any student whose Continuous Assessment mark does not reach 50% out of 100% due to low attendance and volume of work done fails the course an must take the 4-parts of the Examen de Recuperació to reattempt to pass the course.

In the event a student fails one or more skills, after averaging, the highest possible mark given will be a 4/10.

25% -Oral Exam (4-part/9-minute individual test)

Any student who fails one or more parts of the Avaluació Única Test can retake the failed part(s) in the Examen de Recuperació to reattempt to pass the course. In the event a student fails one or more skills, after averaging, the highest possible mark given will be a 4/10.
