Problem solving A17 A63 B1 B2 B4 B9 C2 C10 C11 C13 It will consist in the evaluation of two (2) brief problems solved by the student, together with one (1) question whose answer will be properly justified. These three (3) points will be proposed by the professor by means of a test. Such tests will be performed at dates previously established by the professor.
The students registered part-time and with academic dispensation of exemption attendance will have the option of taking an exam about problem solving at the end of the course. 		20
Mixed objective/subjective test A17 A18 B1 B2 B4 B9 C3 C10 It will consist of an exam composed of a set of questions related to the theory of the subject and a set of problems to be solved by the student, in which both the comprehension of such contents and their application to problem solving will be assessed. The contents will be those developed throghout the course during the lecture sessions.
The evaluation criteria and activities for the students registered part time and with academic dispensation of exemption will be the same as those required for the rest of the students. 		60

At the beginning of each ITC practical, the student will have to write the answers to a set of three (3) brief questions (tests) related to the abovementioned practical. If the student does not answer correctly at least two of those questions, the score obtained in the practice will be halved.

Assessment comments

The mixed test and the problem-solving tests constitute 80% of the grade. The evaluation of laboratory practices and through ICT constitute the remaining 20%.

Description of the evaluation and distribution of points.

FIRST OPPORTUNITY

A) MIXED TEST:

    It will consist of two midterm exams of 6 points (maximum) each. In order to pass the subject, a minimum of 3 points must be obtained in each one. Once obtained, the grade of the mixed exam will be the average of the grades of both midterm exams.

    If any of the midterm exams are not passed, the student will have the opportunity to pass them in the final exam (1st opportunity).

B) PROBLEM SOLVING:

    It will consist of a set of tests with a maximum combined evaluation of 2 points, with a minimum of 1 to pass the course.

    In case of not passing the tests, the student will have a problem solving exam on the same date and time as the final exam (see item A). This exam must be passed in order to pass the course.

C) LABORATORY/TIC PRACTICES:

    It will consist of a set of laboratory and computer simulation tasks (ICT) with a maximum joint evaluation of 2 points, with a minimum of 1 to pass the course. At the beginning of each practice, the student must pass a previous test. If the student fails the test, the grade of the corresponding practice will be halved.

    In case of not passing the assignments, the student will have a laboratory exam on the same date and time as the final exam (see item A). This exam must be passed in order to pass the course.  

FINAL GRADE: if the three parts (A, B and C) are passed, the final grade will be the sum of them. In case of failing, the final grade will be half of the sum of these three parts.

Detection of plagiarism or copying of work: the fraudulent performance of the tests or evaluation activities will directly imply the qualification of failure '0' in the corresponding opportunity of the subject, thus invalidating any qualification obtained in all the evaluation activities for the second and advanced calls.

SECOND OPPORTUNITY

For the second opportunity the student may take a mixed test similar in content and difficulty to that of the first opportunity, and must pass both parts. The grade obtained in the mixed test will be added to the laboratory practices, ICT and problem solving grades obtained in the first opportunity. In case of not passing the problem solving or the practicals, the student will have the corresponding exams, within the timetable corresponding to the mixed test. For the calculation of the total grade, the same criteria will be followed as for the first opportunity.

Students enrolled part-time or who have been granted academic dispensation of exemption from attendance, as established by the Rule that regulates the regime of dedication to the study of undergraduate students at UDC (Arts. 2.3; 3.b; 4.3 and 7.5) (04/05/2017), will take the same evaluation tests as students enrolled full-time. He/she will have the option of taking a lab/ICT practicum exam at each opportunity.

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