Assessment comments

The evaluation of the content taught in masterclasses and problem solving sessions of the subject represents 80% of the total marks. The evaluation of laboratory and ICT practices by the short answer questions is the remaining 20%.

To pass the course will be required:

1) Mixed exam: written exam about the content taught in masterclasses and problem solving sessions: have a minimum of 3.8 points out of 8. The student must demonstrate a basic knowledge of all the content of the subject in this exam. To pass the exam none of the answers to the questions can be blank.

For students (matriculated full time or part time) who regularly attend class (minimum 80% attendance), partial exams could be made throughout the course that could exempt part or all of the subject in the final mixed test.

Works carried out independently by the student and posed by the Professor of theory can be presented optionally. 

Answers to the teacher during the course in the keynote and problem-solving sessions and in the tutorials could be estimated positively. 

To pass the course, 4 out of 8 must be reached in the final marks of theory and problems.

2) Have a minimum of 1 point out of 2 in the short answer questionnaire. 

For students (matriculated full time or part time) who regularly attend class (minimum 80% attendance), a continuous assessment could be made throughout the course that could exempt part or all of the subject in the final short answer questionnaire.

The participation of the student in the practical sessions and his explanations to questions posed by the teacher during the sessions will be considered.

If a minimum of 4 out  of 8 is not obtained in the final marks of theory and problems, the practice marks will be divided by two to calculate the final marks. If in practice the minimum 1 was not obtained, to calculate the final grade the geometric mean weighted will be made.

In order to be able to pass the subject, full-time and part-time students must attend more than the 80 % of the ordinary class hours of "Laboratory practice" and "ICT practicals" (unless she/he has attended in previous years). The students which have the academic exemption of attendance, according to the "NORMA QUE REGULA O RÉXIME DE DEDICACIÓN AO ESTUDO DOS ESTUDANTES DE GRAO NA UDC (Arts. 2.3; 3.b; 4.3 e 7.5) (04/05/2017), will replace this requirement with an aptitude test about the use of the laboratory instrumentation.

The evaluation criteria
considered in tables A-III/1 and A-III/3 of the STCW Code and its amendments
related to this subject shall be taken into account when designing and
evaluating.
