General description
Contingency plan 1. Modificacións nos contidos
Non se realizarán cambios.

2. Metodoloxías
*Metodoloxías docentes que se manteñen
Mantense a metodoloxía de lecturas, o resto modifícanse para adaptalas o formato non presencial.

*Metodoloxías docentes que se modifican
Sesión maxistral: Mantéñense as sesións maxistrais, ca particularidade de que se impartirán a través da plataforma de Microsoft Teams, no horario establecido polo centro. Se fora necesario, tamén se realizarían sesións asíncronas que se colgarían directamente en dito canal.
Simulación: En caso de imposibilidade de acudir o simulador de navegación do centro, esta metodoloxía substituiríase por unha serie de sesións expositivas a través de Teams onde se explicaría o contido das prácticas de simulación, e se pediría o alumnado a realización dunha proba adicional que permitise determinar a súa comprensión da temática exposta.
Prácticas de laboratorio: Mantense esta metodoloxía, ca particularidade de que as horas destinadas a realización de exercicios na aula, así como a súa corrección, farase de xeito non presencial.
Proba obxectiva: De ser posible manter a presencialidade, tanto das probas parciais coma dos exames finais de 1ª e 2ª oportunidades, estes realizarase con normalidade tal e como está descrito na guía docente. De non ser posible, realizarase online a través do Moodle e/ou Teams, mantendo os mesmos principios.

3. Mecanismos de atención personalizada ao alumnado
Teams: Os docentes estaremos conectados nesta plataforma no horario normal de titorías para atender o alumnado mediante o servicio de chat ou videoconferencia. En caso de verse necesario, estas titorías faranse en grupos reducidos.
Foro de dubidas no Moodle: Nel o alumnado pode expoñer cantas dúbidas considere oportuno, os docentes intentaremos resolvelas o antes posible.
Correo electrónico: Como sempre, os docentes da materia estamos a disposición do alumnado a través do correo electrónico. Sen embargo, para facer consultas e expoñer dúbidas sobre a materia impartida ou os exercicios, é preferible que se faga en Moodle, a través do foro habilitado, xa que así todo o alumnado pode beneficiarse das respostas.

4. Modificacións na avaliación
Manteranse as mesmas metodoloxías de avaliación, cos seus porcentaxes correspondentes.

*Observacións de avaliación:
A pesar de manterse as metodoloxías de avaliación que figuran na guía docente, estas adaptaranse a non presencialidade do seguinte xeito:
Eliminase o requisito de asistencia regular a clase para a realización das probas parciais.
En caso de non poder realizarse as sesións de simulación programadas, non se exixirá a asistencia as mesmas para superar a materia, pero si se exixirá a realización da tarefa adicional que viría a substituír a esta metodoloxía. Esta tarefa non se avaliará cunha nota numérica, se non como apto ou non apto.
En caso de que as probas parciais, tanto prácticas como teórica, se realicen todas elas en situación de non presencialidade, non se esixirá nota mínima en cada unha das probas, e a nota por curso obterase sempre empregando a media aritmética das cualificacións parciais. O mesmo se aplicará o exame oficial de cada oportunidade, en caso de realizarse en condicións exclusivas de non presencialidade, a nota será a media aritmética das partes do exame, sen restrición de nota mínima (en caso de realizarse de xeito híbrido, seguirase o establecido na guía docente).

5. Modificacións da bibliografía ou webgrafía
Non se realizarán modificacións. En todo caso, reforzarase o material accesible dende Moodle, con exercicios resoltos, e se complementarán as gravacións das clases impartidas de xeito síncrono con vídeos sobre cuestións adicionais.

Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech Lecture of the subject complemented with the use of audiovisual presentations and the introduction of some questions addressed to the students, in order to transmit knowledge and facilitate learning.
Within this dynamic the intervention of the students will be open for the realization of questions or comments, which could lead to open debates.
The texts and/or audiovisual presentations used will be made available to the student body sufficiently in advance so that they can read it beforehand.
Workbook Documentation provided to students where the content to be developed in the subject is studied in depth.
Simulation Exercises performed in the maneuver and navigation simulator in which students will be placed before hypothetical conditions that simulate situations that could occur in a real context, with the purpose of using them as learning experiences and evaluation procedures. In these simulations the students will demonstrate their skills in specific situations, their knowledge, their ability to make decisions.
Laboratory practice Realization of practical exercises related to the theoretical concepts explained in the lectures
Objective test Written test used to evaluate learning, whose distinctive feature is the ability to determine whether the answers given are correct or not. It is a measurement instrument, rigorously elaborated, that allows evaluating knowledge, abilities, skills, performance, etc.
Objective testing can combine different types of questions: multiple-choice, short-answer, and / or developmental questions. You can also build with only one type of any of these questions.

Assessment
Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Objective test A1 A2 A3 A5 A6 A7 B9 B13 C6 Para os alumnos cunha asistencia regular a clase (polo menos o 80%) realizaranse, ao longo do curso, catro probas parciais para avaliar o seguimento do traballo realizado durante o cuadrimestre (tres exercicios de tipo práctico e una proba teórica). Aqueles que superen todos os parciais cunha nota media igual ou superior a 5 non terán que presentarse ao exame final, a non ser que desexen subir a nota do curso. A nota mínima para poder compensar por media aritmética cada un dos parciais á hora de obter a nota do curso será dun 3,5. En caso de obter nalgún dos parciais unha nota inferior a un 3,5, a nota do curso será a media xeométrica ponderado dos parciais (dando maior peso á menor nota obtida). En caso de non presentarse a algún dos parciais considerarase que o alumno non está a seguir o sistema de avaliación continua descrito e será cualificado por curso como non presentado.

Aqueles alumnos que non sigan o sistema de avaliación descrito ou suspendan a materia por curso, deberán presentarse ao exame final da convocatoria oficial, no cal entrará a totalidade da materia. As probas parciais non librarán materia para o final.

Con esta metodoloxía avaliaranse as competencias A1, A2, A3, A5, A6, A7, B9, B13, C6.

Simulation A1 A2 A5 A6 A7 A19 B4 B9 B13 B14 B15 C2 C6 C10 C11 Os exercicios de simulación serán de obrigatoria asistencia para a superación da materia e serán avaliados sen cualificación numérica (apto ou non apto).
Aqueles alumnos que non asistan ao 80% das clases de simulación serán avaliados como non aptos.

Con esta metodoloxía avaliaranse as competencias A1, A2, A5, A6, A7, A19, B13, B14, C6.
0
Laboratory practice A1 A2 A3 B12 B13 B14 C10 No caso de que un alumno suspendese a materia cunha nota igual ou maior de 4,5, poderá aprobar a materia a condición de que realizase ao longo do curso o 100% das prácticas propostas en clase.

Con esta metodoloxía avaliaranse as competencias A1, A2, A3, B13, B14, C10.

Assessment comments

Each
exam, both partial and final, will consist of several clearly
differentiated parts in terms of content and resolution methodology (for
example different parts of theory or different types of exercises),
which will be corrected separately in base 10. As long as the grade of each of these parts is equal to or greater than 3.5, the note of the examination will be the arithmetic mean of the parties. If
a grade lower than 3.5 is obtained in any part of the exam, the exam
grade will correspond to the weighted geometric average of the parts
(giving greater weight to the lowest grade obtained).

Students
with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption of
attendance exemption will not be required a minimum attendance to be
able to take part exams, however, they must agree with the teacher a
series of tutorials (face-to-face or non-presential) throughout the course to accredit the follow-up of the subject.

Those students qualified as unsuitable in the simulation methodology can not pass the subject. In this case even surpassing the objective test and the laboratory practices the student will be qualified with a 4.

The
evaluation criteria contemplated in Table A-II/2 of the STCW Code, as
amended, and included in the Quality Assurance System, will be taken
into account when designing and carrying out the evaluation.
