Assessment comments |
Students who attend and participate in at least 80% of the activities proposed in the classroom as part of the workshop will be continuously assessed according to the methodologies described in the course guide. Otherwise, students will be assessed solely through a final mixed test on the date of the regular session. The mixed test to which students who are evaluated through the continuous assessment system are entitled will be held on the date of the regular exam session. However, if the result of the oral presentation is at least 5 out of 10 points, they will not be evaluated on competencies A57, B31, or B32. Instead, they will receive a grade in the corresponding part of the mixed test equivalent to the grade obtained in the oral presentation. Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption from attendance, as established in the "REGULATION GOVERNING THE STUDY DEDICATION REGIME FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS AT UDC (Arts. 2.3; 3.b; 4.3 and 7.5) (04/05/2017)," may take partial exams, if applicable, without the need to attend 80% of face-to-face classes, provided that the professors are duly informed at the beginning of the course. However, the professors may assign different assignments/problems to this group of students throughout the course to be presented during tutorial hours, using the TEAMS system if deemed appropriate by the professor. The fraudulent completion of exams or assessment activities, once confirmed, will result directly in a failing grade in the respective exam session: the student will be graded as "fail" (numerical grade of 0) in the corresponding academic year's exam session, whether the misconduct occurs in the first opportunity or the second. In this regard, their grade will be modified in the first opportunity's record, if necessary. The assessment criteria outlined in Table A-II/2 of the STCW Code, as documented in the Quality Assurance System, will be considered when designing and conducting the assessment.
