Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech A detailed explanation of the contents of the subject will be carried out. The student will have bibliographic material and notes prepared by the teacher on the subject to be discussed in each master session at all times. Class participation is encouraged through comments that relate the theoretical content to real life experiences.
Objective test The objective test will consist of a series of conceptual development questions, the number of which will vary between 10 and 20 and the resolution of two practical exercises. The content of the questions will deal with the subjects taught in class and the practical exercises will also be similar to those solved in class. Sufficient material will be provided to the student for the study of the theory and for the practical exercises. Partial tests will be carried out, both for the theoretical part and for problem solving, and a final joint test of the entire subject. Both ordinary and extraordinary exams will be governed by the same format.
Case study The theory learned will be applied (in the lectures) and the resolution of practical cases of different stowage calculations and in different types of ships
Introductory activities The first class of the course will be dedicated to the presentation of the subject to the students
Summary Before each midterm and final exam, there will be a class (in total 3) to summarize the main contents exposed. It is intended to help the student to understand the subject in a global way and to solve those aspects that could give rise to confusion or that were not adequately assimilated

Objective test A22 A23 A27 A29 A31 A32 A33 A39 B2 B5 It will be the result of the averages obtained in the partial tests and / or the final test. Objective written test to evaluate the knowledge and understanding of the basic contents of the subject, considering the abilities and skills of the student, their strategies and approaches in solving problems. You can combine different types of questions and problems.
Each partial test (P1 and P2) will contribute 40% and the global objective test (average mark of both) will report 80% of the total evaluation of the subject.

Objective written test. It will be mandatory for those students who have not participated or passed the continuous assessment of the subject throughout the course.
It allows evaluating and verifying the expected results regarding the global content of the subject and verifying the degree of achievement of the proposed objectives.
The global final exam, as a single assessment, will consist of a test composed of a theoretical part and a problem-solving part with independent assessment, being necessary to obtain a minimum of 5 points in each: a) theoretical (50%); b) practice (50%);

Assessment comments

Final
exam: The objective written test will be compulsory for those students who have
not participated in or passed the continuous evaluation of the subject
throughout the course. The global final exam, as a single evaluation, will
consist of a test consisting of a theoretical part and a problem solving part
with independent assessment, being necessary to obtain a minimum of 5 points in
each and an average of 5: a) theoretical 50% ; b) 50% practice.

The evaluation criteria contemplated, no cadro A-II / 1 of the STCW Code, and recollection of the Quality Assurance System, will be taken into account at the time of designing and carrying out the evaluation.

Or students with part-time dedication recognition and academic exemption from attendance exemption, secondly, it establishes "NORM THAT REGULATES OR RULES OF DEDICATION TO OR STUDY OF TWO STUDENTS FROM GRAO NA UDC (Arts. 2.3; 3.b; 4.3 e 7.5) ( 05/04/2017) will be able to carry out partial tests, if you are houbere, if you need to attend or 80% of the classes you attend, always when the teachers are duly informed at the beginning of the course. This student body has different jobs / problems or the length of the course to be exhibited during the timetable.

On the
other hand, the fraudulent performance of tests or assessment activities, once
verified, will directly involve the grade of "0" in the subject in
the corresponding call, thus invalidating any rating obtained in all assessment
activities for the extraordinary call.
