Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech There will be a detailed explanation of the contents of the material, distributed across topics. The student will have a typed copy of the subject matter in each keynote session. Students are encouraged to participate in class, through comments linking the theoretical contents with real life experiences.
Problem solving Problems will be solved for each item proposed, allowing the application of mathematical models appropriate to each case, including managing software, applying the most appropriate assumptions, the theoretical relation developed in lectures and relation with professional practice
Supervised projects Problems more difficult than those solved in class or issues of special relevance.
Objective test The degree of acquired knowledge about the contents assessed, taking into account both theory and problem solving.

Personalized attention
Methodologies

Problem solving
Description
The personalized attention related with the methodologies that contemplate it, aims to encourage maximum interaction with students, in order to optimize their effort and improve their learning.
Through this interaction, together with the other evaluation processes, the degree of learning of the subject competences will be determined, allowing personalized attention to those students who most need it through individualized tutoring, whose convocation will be held in with involved students.
Regardless of the face-to-face tutoring programmed by the teacher, the student can go to tutoring, as many times as he wants, and at a time compatible with teaching, research and management professor activities.
In accordance with the "norma que regula o réxime de dedicación ao estudo dos estudantes de grao na UDC" (Art.3.b e 4.5) and ""normas de avaliación, revisión e reclamación das cualificacións dos estudos de grao e mestrado universitario” (Art. 3 e 8b), students with part-time recognition and academic exemption from attendance exemption may participate in a personalized and flexible system of mentoring and evaluation tutorials in order to determine the degree of competency learning achieved. Regarding with this matter, the tutorials will serve to carry out those activities included within the methodology of supervised projects and problems solution.

Assessment comments
The official tests of the first chance (May-June) will collect the different assessment methodologies and must be completed by those students who have not fully passed the continuous assessment. This test will be designed in such a way that the student can deal with the methodologies of problem-solving and objective test, where he has not reached 30% of the total rating.  

The students required to attend the official tests of the second chance (June-July) will retain the qualification achieved in all methodologies, except for the one obtained in the objective tests of the first chance, which will be replaced by the 2nd. In the same way, you can only opt for honours if the maximum number of these for the corresponding course is not covered in full at the first chance.

For the students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption of attendance exemption, the qualification obtained in the activities associated with the personalized tutoring system will correspond to the evaluation of the methodology of problem-solving and objective tests, with 30 % and 70 % of total rating, respectively.

The evaluation criteria listed in Table A-III / 2, of the STCW Code, as amended, relating to this matter will be taken into account when designing and conducting evaluation.
