XAMK Tourism Diploma

[innen_oda]

The writing task in section 5 for the Intercultural Communication task doesn't look too difficult (only 1000 words):

Interview another course participant on his/her experiences on cultural adjustment/culture shock.

Two of the criterium do require reference to theories covered in the course though, so it's not going to be a matter of totally winging it at the last minute:

- Identification of variables that seem to help ease the adjustment process
- Describe the transition he/she experienced while comparing their experience to one or more of the models presented in the theory part (the stages of culture shock, Bennett´s DMIS, U-curve, W-curve etc.)

The essay is only worth 20 points, but since you can't access the final exam without first submitting the essay, the essay is a compulsory element of the course (though you could submit a blank document, I guess).
