Assessment criteria Second opportunity The assessment criteria for the first and the second opportunity are the same. 'No Presentado' grade The grade of "No presentado" (no grade) will be given to those students who will not hand in the supervised project. Additional information Fraudulent behaviour in any of the parts subject to assessment will result in the grade of "Fail (0)" in the final assessment. 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. |

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. |
