Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech Oral presentation (using audiovisual material and student interaction) designed to transmit knowledge and encourage learning. Presentations of this type are variously referred to as ‘expository method’, ‘guest lectures’ or ‘keynote speeches’. (The term ‘keynote’ refers only to a type of speech delivered on special occasions, for which the lecture sets the tone or establishes the underlying theme; it is characterised by its distinctive content, structure and purpose, and relies almost exclusively on the spoken word to communicate its ideas.)
ICT practicals Practice-based learning method for theoretical subject content using ICT resources (demonstrations, simulations, etc.) ICT is an excellent medium for practical knowledge applications and information processing, and a key aid to student learning and skills development.
Mixed objective/subjective test The mixed objective will consist of an oral presentation about the supervised project.
Supervised projects Supervised learning process aimed at helping students to work independently in a range of contexts (academic and professional). Focused primarily on learning ‘how to do things’ and on encouraging students to become responsible for their own learning.

In this course, the supervised project will consist on a group based technical work based on an assignment done by the proffessors, and dealing about some of the topics of the course.

Assessment comments

According to the degree regulations, the students will have the oportunity to pass this course in two oportunities (first and second oportunity). The evaluation of the total mark will be the same both in the first opportunity and in the second opportunity.

General EMJMD Sustainable Ship and Shipping  SEAS 4.0 evaluation rules:

- Students will have only two oportunities to pass a course. If failing to do so, they may be forced to leave the degree.

- No part time or lecture attendance exemption are allowed in this degree.

Other comments

To help in achieving a sustainable environment and to get the objective of number 5 action of the "Ferrol Green Campus Action Plan" (Healthy and environmentaly and socially sustainable research and teaching):

The assignments to be done in this course:

- Will be required in digital format.

- Will be delivered using Moodle, with no need to print them.

In case it is necessary to print them:

- Plastics won´t be used.

- Two side printing will be used.

- Recycled paper will be used.

- Printing drafts will be avoided.

A sustainable use of the resources should be done, together with the prevention of negative impacts on the environment.
