Furthermore, for the students of the tourism curriculum, will be evaluated the ability to analyze the cultural processes taking place in the socio-economic sector of tourism and to provide an adequate interpretation of the types of tourist behavior in the West will be assessed.
While students of Publishing and digital media will be asked to describe the consequences that the modalities of communication through orality and writing entail for personal thoughts and life in society.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The overall grade will see the grade of the written test (for the students who use it) as a basis to which a score will be added (or removed) bas ed on the progress of the oral exam.
