Online forum Informal discussion space for students to exchange ideas concerning specific problem or topic. Interaction takes place in online learning environment using asynchronous communication tools
ICT practicals Practice-based learning method for theoretical subject content using ICT resources (demonstrations, simulations, etc.)
Mixed objective/subjective test Mixed test consisting of essay-type and objective test questions. Essay section consists of open (extended answer) questions; objective test may contain multiple-choice, ordering and sequencing, short answer, binary, completion and/or multiple-matching questions.

It is essential to pass each of the tests to pass the subject (50% of the score assigned to each part).
The percentage of the note will be distributed correlatively to the weight of each part in the matter:
ISM: 30%
BTM: 30%
ISPS: 10%
This section will be 100% of the mark for students without semestral assessment.
In order to encourage the use of the English language in this subject, 0.25 extra points will be awarded in each part to those students who choose to take their assessment tests in that language. These points will be added once the subject is passed.

Assessment comments

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.

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 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.
