2010 STCW: The evaluation criteria contemplated in Table A-II / 1 of the STCW Code, and included in the Quality Assurance System, will be taken into account when designing and carrying out the evaluation.

In order to have the right to continuous assessment, a minimum of 80% of attendance to face-to-face classes will be required. 

The grade for the Continuous Assessment will consist of a Mixed Test (70%) and Assigned Work (30%). The final mark for the Mixed Test will be the average of the different Mixed Tests that may take place during the course. In order for these tests to average out, a minimum mark of 4 will be required for each one. This average of the Mixed Tests will be 70% of the grade of the Continuous Assessment. If only one Mixed Test is taken, the mark for this will be 70% of the Continuous Assessment mark. Each Assignment will have a weighting that will depend on its length. During the course the teacher will define this weighting. The final average mark of the Assignments will be 30% of the Continuous Assessment grade. If only one Assignment is carried out, the mark for this will be 30% of the Continuous Assessment mark.

Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic dispensation of exemption from attendance (as established in the "Norma que Regula o Réxime de Dedicación ao Estudo dos
Estudantes de Grao na UDC"), may take the Continuous Assessment without the need to attend 80% of the face-to-face classes. To do so, these students will duly inform the lecturer, at the beginning of the course, of the said academic dispensation situation and of their timetable availability for attendance. Apart from the Autonomous Work that appears in this Teaching Guide, the teacher may ask these students to carry out different works/problems throughout the course to be presented or solved during tutorial hours. 

Students
who do not follow the on-site course (attendance less than 80%), or who have
not passed the Continuous Assessment, may sit the final exams in January and
July. The assessment of these exams will consist of a Mixed Objective/Subjective Test consisting of theoretical questions (essay test, short answer, etc.) and practical questions (calculations, manoeuvre graphs, etc.). The
contents of these mixed tests may cover any content of the subject. Such
a Mixed Test will account for 100% of the qualification of that call. For this test, it will be necessary to have a calculator, square, bevel, an angle gauge and a compass. 

Ethical behaviour is expected throughout the course. The use of equipment or materials not allowed in the exams, copying answers by any unauthorised means or plagiarism will lead to a mark of 0 in the final assessment of the subject. 

Ignorance of some basic concepts may lead to elimination. These will be mentioned during the course.
