Assessment comments

The evaluation criteria contemplated in table A-II/2 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 pass the subject through continuous assessment, the average of the partial mixed tests carried out during the course will be taken, provided that a minimum of 4 out of 10 has been obtained in each of them. In addition, the grade corresponding to the rest of the methodologies will be added. On the other hand, a minimum attendance of 80% will be required to be eligible for continuous assessment.   

For those students who follow the continuous assessment, the partial mixed tests passed during the continuous assessment will be kept in the June exams, being able to sit only those parts of the subject that are pending. However, in the July exam session, there will be a single exam of the whole subject with a grade of 100% of the final mark.

The submission and presentation of assignments, cases and problems will be done preferably using the virtual faculty on the dates established. 

Students with a part-time dedication recognition and academic dispensation of attendance exemption, according to the "rule that regulates the regime of dedication to the study of undergraduate students at the UDC (Arts. 2.3; 3.b; 4.3 and 7.5) (04/04/2017) May take the partial tests, if any, without the need to attend 80% of the face-to-face classes, as long as the teachers are duly informed at the beginning of the course. On the other hand, teachers may ask these students to do different assignments/problems throughout the course to be presented during the tutorials. In these cases, the percentage of attendance will be distributed among the rest of the methodologies.

The fraudulent performance of tests or evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply the loss of the right to the opportunity in which the fault was committed and respect for the subject in which it was committed. The student will be graded with a "fail" (numerical grade 0) in the corresponding call of the academic year, whether the offence is committed on the first or second opportunity. For this, the grade will be modified in the first opportunity report, if necessary.
