Assesssment methods and criteria:

Classification Type: Quantitativa (0-20)

Evaluation Methodology:
The teaching methodologies adopted in the Digital Marketing course include a combination of direct instruction, collaborative learning, project-based learning, and experiential learning. These methodologies were chosen to ensure that students acquire both the theoretical knowledge (theoretical component) and practical skills (theoretical-practical and practical components) necessary to apply digital marketing strategies to the hospitality sector. The assessment is divided into two parts: an individual written exam, which accounts for 50% of the final grade, and a group digital marketing project, which constitutes the remaining 50%. Students pass the course if their final grade is 9.50 or higher, considering that all assessment elements have a minimum grade of 8.00. The evaluation criteria remain the same for the resit/special exam period, and in the improvement exam period, students have the opportunity to improve their written exam grade.
