Assessment comments |
The assessment critieria reflected on table A-II/1 of the STCW Code,
and also reflected in the Quality System, are taken into account to
design and perform the assessment. Fraudulent performance of tests or evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply the grade "0" in the subject in the corresponding cycle, thus invalidating any grade obtained in all the evaluation activities for the extraordinary cycle. Students with part-time enrollment and academic grant of attendance exemption, as established by the "NORMA QUE REGULA EL RÉGIMEN DE DEDICACIÓN AL ESTUDIO DE LOS ESTUDANTES DE GRADO Y MASTER EN LA UDC (Arts. 2.3; 3.b; 4.3 and 7.5 ) (05/04/2017) may take the mid-term exams, if any, without having to attend 80% of the face-to-face classes, as long as the professors are duly informed at the beginning of the course. Regardless of the foregoing, the professors may assign these students with different assignments/ problems throughout the course to be presented during tutorials, using the TEAMS system if appropriate in the teacher's opinion.
