Assessment comments

IT IS IMPORTANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THE ASSISTANCE TO LABORATORY PRACTICES IS NEEDED TO OVERCOME THE COURSE. ASSISTANCE TO THE DIFFERENT METHODOLOGIES ARE CERTIFIED BY SIGNING OF EACH STUDENT AN ATTENDANCE SHEET PROVIDED EVERY DAY BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE SESSION. A final examination to collect all course methodologies and representing 100% of the grade, is planned for those students who do not follow the teaching, as long as they pass mandatory laboratory practices.

The official tests of the first chance (May-June) will collect the different assessment methodologies and must be completed by those students who have not fully passed the continuous assessment. This test will be designed in such a way that the student can deal with the methodologies of problem-solving and objective test, where he has not reached 30% of the total rating.

The students required to attend the official tests of the second chance (June-July) will retain the qualification achieved in all methodologies, except for the one obtained in the objective tests of the first chance, which will be replaced by the 2nd. In the same way, you can only opt for honours if the maximum number of these for the corresponding course is not covered in full at the first chance.
For the students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption of attendance exemption, the qualification obtained in the activities associated with the personalized tutoring system will correspond to the evaluation of the methodology of problem-solving and objective tests, with 30 % and 70 % of total rating, respectively.

Fraudulent performance of the tests or evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply a failing grade "fail" (numeric mark 0) in the subject and in the corresponding first or second call, besides invalidating any grade obtained in either evaluation activity for the extraordinary call.  For that, the mark in the first chance will be modified if needed.

The assessment system complies with the criteria for assessing competence set out in Column 4 of the following Tables of the STCW Convention as amended by Manila 2010:
1.- Table A-III/1 of Specification of minimum standard of competence for officers in charge of an engineering watch in a manned engine-room or designated duty engineers in a periodically unmanned engine-room
Function: Marine engineering at operational level
Competences 
-1.1 Maintain a safe engineering watch
-1.2 Operate main and auxiliary machinery and associated control systems
