Assessment comments |
The students who complete and submit, on time and in the correct manner, 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. In this case, students must obtain a minimum grade of 5 out of 10 in both the mixed test and the oral presentation to pass the course. The mixed test will be conducted on the date of the ordinary exam session. Students who do not complete or submit, on time and in the correct manner, at least 80% of the activities proposed in the classroom as part of the workshop, or who do not obtain at least a grade of 5 out of 10 in the oral presentation, will be assessed through a single mixed test on the date of the ordinary session. This test will have two distinct parts: the first will assess competencies A55, A60, B33, and B34 through the contents of the topics "Maritime Trade and Transport Systems" and "Economics of Maritime Transport Markets," and the second will assess competencies A54, A57, B31, and B32 through the contents of the topic "Economics of the Shipping Company." The first part will account for 60% of the grade and the second part 40%, but it will be necessary to obtain at least a grade of 5 out of 10 in both parts to pass the course. 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.
