(*)The information in the planning table is for guidance only and does not take into account the heterogeneity of the students.

Methodologies	Description
Introductory activities	The first class will be dedicated to the presentation of the subject to the students.
Guest lecture / keynote speech	General lectures of the different chapters the subject will be given. The student will have at his disposition bibliographic material and notes elaborated by the professor of the differents themes of the subjets for every lecture. The participation of the students will be promoted through comments related to the theoretical content and with experiences of the real life.
Case study	Application of the theory learnt in the lectures and resolution of practical exercises.
Objective test	The objective test will consist in a series of conceptual short questionsl, whose number will vary between 10 and 20, and the resolution of two practical exercises. The content of the questions will be similar to those given in the lectures and the practical exercises will be also similar to those resolved in the classroom. The student will have at his disposal sufficient material for the study of the theory and for the practical exercises. It may be possible to do partial tests of the theoretical part and of the practical exercises, and finally a joint final test of the complete subject.
Summary	Before each partial test and also before the final examination a general resumed lecture of the main contents exposed will be given. The intention is to help the student to understand the subject in a global way and to resolve those aspects that could give place to confusion or that were not assimilated properly.

Methodologies	Competencies	Description	Qualification
Guest lecture / keynote speech	A12 A13 A14 A15 A20 B2	The students will have the option to approve the subject during the term course providing always that he assisted to a least an 80% of the lectures in the classroom. The assistance to the lectures and the participation of the student, the resolution of the practical exercises and the continuous evaluation of the Professor may increse the final qualification with a 10%. Competencies: A12, A13, A14 and A15	5
Objective test	A12 A13 A14 A15 A20 B2	The final qualification will be the average of the qualifications achieved in the partial tests and/or the final test. To surpass the subject is will necessary to obtain a 50% of weight in each part of the evaluation (Theoretical part (50%)and resolution of the practical exercises (50%). Competencies: A12, A13, A14, A15 & A20.	90
Case study	A12 A13 A14 A15 B2 B5 B11 B13 C6	The resolution of the practical exercises in the classroom may increase the final qualification with an additional 10%. Competencies A12,A13, A14 and A15.	5

Assessment comments
Same criteria will be applied in the first and second opportunity (May and July) Los criterios de evaluación contemplados en el cuadro A-II/2 del Código STCW, y recogido en el Sistema de Garantía de Calidad, se tendrán en cuenta a la hora de diseñar y realizar la evaluación. Assessment criteria as included in the STCW Code Table A-II/2 and included in the Quality Guarantee System, to be applied when evaluating competence.
