Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Objective test A1 A2 A3 A5 A6 A7 B9 B13 C6 For students with regular class attendance (at least 80%), four partial tests will be carried out throughout the course to assess the follow-up of the work done during the semester (three practical exercises and a theoretical test). Those who pass all the partial exams with an average grade equal to or greater than 5 will not have to take the final exam, unless they wish to raise the grade for the course. The minimum mark to be able to compensate by arithmetic mean each one of the partials at the time of obtaining the mark of the course will be 3.5. In case of obtaining a grade lower than 3.5 in any of the partial exams, the grade for the course will be failed (with a maximum grade of 4). In case of not showing up to any of the partial exams, it will be considered that the student is not following the continuous evaluation system described and will be graded by course as not showing up.

Students who do not follow the evaluation system described or fail the subject by course, must take the final exam of the official call, in which the entire subject will enter. The partial tests passed with a grade greater than or equal to 5, will release material for the final exam of the first opportunity, but not for that of the second opportunity (the students who must be examined in the second opportunity must do it for the entire subject ).

With this methodology, competencies A1, A2, A3, A5, A6, A7, B9, B13, C6 will be evaluated.

Simulation A1 A2 A5 A6 A7 A19 B4 B9 B13 B14 B15 C2 C6 C10 C11 The simulation exercises will require attendance to pass the subject and will be evaluated without a numerical grade (pass or fail).
Those students who do not attend 80% of the simulation classes will be classified as unfit.

With this methodology, competencies A1, A2, A5, A6, A7, A19, B4, B9, B13, B14, B15, C2, C6, C10, C11 will be evaluated.
0
Laboratory practice A1 A2 A3 B12 B13 B14 C10 In the event that a student has failed the subject with a grade equal to or greater than 4.5, he may pass the subject as long as he has completed 100% of the practices proposed in class throughout the course.

With this methodology, competencies A1, A2, A3, B13, B14, C10 will be evaluated.

Assessment comments

Each
exam, both partial and final, will consist of several clearly
differentiated parts in terms of content and resolution methodology (for
example different parts of theory or different types of exercises),
which will be corrected separately in base 10. As long as the grade of each of these parts is equal to or greater than 3.5, the note of the examination will be the arithmetic mean of the parties. If
a grade lower than 3.5 is obtained in any part of the exam, the exam
grade will correspond to the weighted geometric average of the parts
(giving greater weight to the lowest grade obtained).

Students
with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption of
attendance exemption will not be required a minimum attendance to be
able to take part exams, however, they must agree with the teacher a
series of tutorials (face-to-face or non-presential) throughout the course to accredit the follow-up of the subject.

Those students qualified as unsuitable in the simulation methodology can not pass the subject. In this case even surpassing the objective test and the laboratory practices the student will be qualified with a 4.

The
evaluation criteria contemplated in Table A-II/2 of the STCW Code, as
amended, and included in the Quality Assurance System, will be taken
into account when designing and carrying out the evaluation.

Fraudulent performance of the tests or evaluation activities, once
verified, will directly imply the failing grade "0" in the subject in
the corresponding call, rendering the grade obtained in all the evaluation
activities for the extraordinary call null and void.
