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’.
Mixed objective/subjective test Mixed test consisting of essay-type and objective test questions. Essay section consists of open (extended answer) questions; objective test may contain multiple-choice, ordering and sequencing, short answer, binary, completion and/or multiple-matching questions.
Oral presentation Core component of teaching-learning process involving coordinated oral interaction between student and teacher, including proposition, explanation and dynamic exposition of facts, topics, tasks, ideas and principles.

In this course, the oral presentation will consist on the presentation of the technical report in front of the rest of students and the proffessors.
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.

In this course, MAXSURF and others will be used to practicaly evaluate some of the contents described during the theoretical lectures.
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 report based on an assignment done by the proffessors, and dealing about some of the topics of the course. This report may be presented in front of the rest of students. This fact will be announced in Moodle/Teams at the beggining of the course.

Personalized attention
Methodologies
Supervised projects
Oral presentation
Guest lecture / keynote speech
Description
The professors will provide personalized attention to the students both personally and remotely using MS Teams or email.

In this course, this personalized attention will consist on support while developing the supervised projects, the ICT practicals and doubts and questions related to the contents ellaborated during the lectures.

Assessment
Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Supervised projects B7 B8 B11 C2 C4 C6 C7 The qualification of the group based technical report will represent a 60 % of the student´s final qualification. 60
Oral presentation B7 B8 B11 C2 C7 In case the oral presentation is finally programmed, the percentage of its qualification will be a 10 %, including the presentation and the answers to the questions formulated by the proffessors and other students.

In case the oral presentation is not scheduled, its contribution will be transfered to the other methodologies (35 % Theoretical exam - 65 % Group Based Technical report) 		10
Mixed objective/subjective test B8 B11 C2 The qualification of the theoretical exam of this course will represent a 30 % of the student´s final qualification.

It will be neccesary to have a grade higher than 4 to pass 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).

In order to pass the course, an overall mark of 5
out of 10 should be obtained by applying the percentages above to each
of the methodologies, considering each of them evaluated in a scale from
0 to 10.

At the beggining of the course, dates
for presenting the technical reports and doing the oral presentation
will be published in Moodle/ MS Teams.

In the
second oportunity, students will be able to repeat the exam and
correct/modify the technical reports; however, in order to pass the
course, both the technical report and the oral presentation should have
been done in any case fullfilling the prescribed deadlines set during
the course.

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 exemptions 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.
