The delivery and presentation of assignments, cases and problems will be done preferably using the subject page on the Moodle platform. In case of not achieving a pass mark during the course, a final exam may be taken consisting of the resolution of a problem on chartering with calculation of amortization, expenses and benefits and/or a project planning and associated costs, interspersed with some theoretical questions. In order to obtain the average of the subject it is necessary to have a minimum of 4 out of 10 in each methodology. June and July opportunities will be face-to-face. The assessment critieria reflected on table A-II/2 of the STCW Code, Students with a recognition of part-time dedication and academic dispensation of attendance exemption, according to the "rule that regulates the regime of dedication to the study of undergraduate students at the UDC (Arts. 2.3; 3.b; 4.3 and 7.5) (04/04/2017) May perform the partial tests, if any, without the need to attend 80% of the contact classes, provided that teachers are properly informed at the beginning of the course. On the other hand, teachers may order students to carry out different assignments/problems throughout the course to be exposed during tutorials. In these cases, the percentage of attendance will be distributed among the rest of the methodologies. Fraudulent performance of the tests or evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply the failing grade "0" in the subject in the corresponding call, thus invalidating any grade obtained in all the evaluation activities for the extraordinary call. |
