General description Esta materia divídese en dous bloques xerais, un deles pretende trasladar aos futuros mestres en Náutica e Transporte Marítimo diversos aspectos relacionados co salvamento marítimo e algunhas das técnicas empregadas para levalo a cabo. Esta primeira parte abranguerá dende un resumo da normativa aplicable e as súas peculiaridades, sinalando a actuación do Capitán ante sinistros e a seguridade na acción; pasando polo remolque e emprego de aeronaves ata un achegamento a esta industria e diferentes buques, etc.

O outro bloque centrarase no control das avarías a bordo, para isto estudiarase en primero lugar as súas causas e efectos. A continuación, repasaremos os compartimentos do buque, así como, a súa resistencia e achique. Describiránse certas técnicas para taponar o caso, parcheo de tubarías e apuntalar mamparos. Por último ollaremos o xeito de levar a cabo inspeccións e probas de estanqueidade así como os materiais de control de avarías.

Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Supervised projects Projects carried out by students (individuals and/or in groups) regarding two contents of the subject.
Throughout the four-month period, one or several assignments will be provided around two contents of the agenda that must be based on the basic and complementary bibliography of the guide and with another selected by the teaching staff and/or student pole.
Its realization will begin in the classroom and be completed through the autonomous work of the students, attending more indications provided through the differentiation of teachers. Through the exhibition in the classroom, the work done will be shared.
Oral presentation On the supervised projects
Objective test Final exam
Guest lecture / keynote speech In the activity of the lecture guest, the contents that make up the theoretical framework will be worked on through oral presentation, guided by the use of presentations, audiovisual media and with the introduction of directed questions to the students with the purpose of favouring learning and the construction of knowledge.
There will be an introductory general exposition of each one of the two different themes of which the program consists, indicating the aspects that the students should expand with their personal work, with the appropriate orientations bibliographic.

Description
The personalized differentiation described in relation to these methodologies is conceived as moments of work with the subject teachers.
The way and the moment in which it will be developed will be indicated in each activity throughout the course according to the plan of matter work.
Students with recognition of part-time dedication as established by the "RULE THAT REGULATES THE REGIME OF DEDICATION TO THE STUDY OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS AT UDC (Articles 2.3; 3. b and 4.5)(05/29/2012). These students will develop their activity with the assistance and participation in the dynamics collected in Step 4 "Planning" and in the one that concerns us "Personalized lessons" described for the "Works supervised", through the workgroups that are formed in the subject. The activity will be carried out according to the observations of the evaluation regarding the flexibility of attendance participation and the requirements for overcoming the subject.

Assessment comments

STCW Convention
2010: The evaluation criteria referred to in Table A-II/2 of the STCW Code, and
collected in the Quality Assurance System, will be taken into account when
designing and carrying out the evaluation.

To pass the
subject following the continuous evaluation it is necessary to pass each
methodology. in-session lecture, at the same time as class attendance ( minimum
of 80%), the student participation will be valued too.

Students who do
not follow the continuous assessment will always have the option of taking the
objective test. Consequently, under this circumstance, this will have a value
in the evaluation of 100%.

Students with
recognition of part-time dedication and the corresponding academic waiver that
provide the assistance exemption, as established in the "RULE THAT
REGULATES THE DEDICATION REGIME TO THE STUDY OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS AT UDC
(Articles 2.3; 3. b; 4.3; 6. b and 7.5) (05/04/2017) may carry out the partial
tests, if any, without the need to attend 80% of the face-to-face classes, as
long as the teacher is duly informed at the beginning of the course.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the professor can entrust these students with
different works (individual and/or in groups) throughout the course to be
presented in the tutorial schedule in order to score in the continuous
evaluation the proportional part of the value of the master session.

About the
sanctions applicable for de commission of serious offenses, article 11 of the
Disciplinary Regulations of de student body of the University of A Coruña,
approved by the Governing Council on 27/02/2023, point b) was amende in june
2023, to read:

b)
Qualification of suspense in the call in wich the fault it was commited, the
student will be graded with “fail” (numerical grade 0) in the corresponding
call of the academic year, wheter the commission of the fault occurs at the
first opportunity or at the second. For this, we will proceed to modify his
qualification in the minutes of the first opportunity, if necessary.

“As stated in the different regulations of application for university teaching, the gender perspective must be incorporated in this matter (Non-sexist language will be used, bibliography of authors of both sexes will be used, te intervention in class of students will be encouraged.

Work will be done to identify and modify prejudices and sexist attitudes and will influence the environment to modify them and promote values of respect and equality.

Situations of discrimination based on gender should be detected and actions and measures proposed to correct them”.
