Laboratory practice A54 A55 A56 A57 A59 B93 B79 B78 B75 B66 B54 B36 B35 B34 B33 B32 B31 C14 C15 C20 C24 • This assessment will be 20% of the final grade: 10% completion of the practices 10% preparation of the laboratory notebook and 5% resolution of the question on laboratory practices in the exam
• Failure to attend laboratory practices means failing the subject. In very justified cases, their assistance can be replaced by preparing a practical exam related to the practices that were not carried out.

Simulation A54 A55 A56 A57 A59 B93 B79 B78 B75 B74 B72 B66 B54 B36 B35 B34 B33 B32 B31 C14 C15 C20 C24 C26 C27 C28 C34 C35 The assessment of this part of the course will count for 5% of the total grade. The student must obtain results with simulation programs and know how to interpret them, submitting a report. 5

These tests have the objective of helping the student to bring the subject up to date.

Mixed objective/subjective test A54 A55 A56 A57 A59 B31 B32 B33 B34 B35 B36 B54 B66 B72 B74 B75 B78 B79 B93 C14 C15 C20 C24 C26 C27 C28 C34 C35 • The exam grade will be equivalent to 55% of the course grade (25% theory-35% problems).
• A grade lower than 4 in theory or in problems will mean failing the course. Those notes between a 4-5 may be compensated with the other evaluations. If not, the grade for the compensable part could be taken into account until the second opportunity within the same academic year.
• If partials are taken, in order to pass the subject they must all have a grade higher than 4 (both in theory and in problems). The averages obtained from the theory and from the problems between both partials, when they are between 4-5, can be compensated with the scores of the other evaluable activities. If this is not the case, the mark of the compensable part (average of the theory or average of problems) can be maintained until the first or second opportunity within the same academic year. This means that in the final exams there will be no partials

Assessment comments
  • Requirements to pass a subject:
  • To pass a subject it will always be necessary to obtain, both in the objective test and in the simulation in the laboratory practices, a grade of no less than 4.0 out of 10, and to achieve a minimum global grade of 5.0 out of 10 (the contribution of each available activity is to indicated in this teaching guide.
  • According to the professors, the students who do not pass in the first opportunity -as indicated in the previous section- can keep, for a second opportunity, the qualifications obtained in other avaliable activities with a qualification equal to or greater than 4.0 out of 10. Or the same as before o Approved implies receiving a minimum overall grade of 5.0 out of 10 (the contribution of each available activity is indicated in this teaching guide).
  • In both opportunities of not completing a minimum grade of 4 out of 10, choose the activities for which it has previously been established, however, at a weighted average equal to or greater than 5 out of 10, the subject will appear failed with a qualification of 4.5 out of 10 In this case, the student will have three days to redo these activities, preventing, whenever possible, that a delivery does not coincide with the exam period of the corresponding opportunity.
  • Any student who carries out evaluable activities will be considered as presented as long as they represent more than 40% of the overall grade. As far as successive academic years are concerned, the teaching-learning process, including evaluation, refers to one academic year, and, therefore, all activities must be carried out again with the new academic year.

    The evaluation criteria contemplated in tables A-II/1, La-II/2, La-III/1 and La-III/2 of the STCW Code, and its amendments, related to this matter, will be applied.

    During the completion of the objective test, on either occasion, except as otherwise indicated, the use of any device with Internet access is prohibited. Despite the fact that it is not advisable to bring said devices to said activity, a space may be set up for their storage, without implying any type of responsibility on the part of the UDC, the School or the teachers present during the objective test. If during the completion of the objective test, there is evidence of the use of these devices, the student will automatically be expelled from the classroom, the objective test qualified with a failing and the address of the center will be informed in writing according to the corresponding regulations.

  • For what students achieve with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption from attendance, the above criteria apply.
  • As far as successive academic years are concerned, the teaching-learning process, including evaluation, refers to one academic year, and, therefore, all activities must be carried out again with the new academic year.
  • A fraudulent performance of the tests or evaluation activities will directly imply the qualification of suspense '0' in the matter in the corresponding call, thus invalidating any qualification obtained in all the evaluation activities for the extraordinary call. Article 11, section 4 b), of the UDC Student Disciplinary Regulation: Qualification of fail in the call in which the offense is committed and respect for the matter in which it was committed: the student will be graded with "fail" ( numerical grade 0) in the corresponding call of the academic year, both if the offense is committed on the first opportunity and on the second. For this, their qualification will be modified in the first opportunity certificate, if necessary. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------
  •  The evaluation system complies with the competence evaluation criteria included in Column 4 of the following tables of the STCW Convention, modified by Manila 2010: 
    • · Table A-V/1-1-1. Specification of the minimum standards of competence in basic training for cargo operations in oil and chemical tankers. 
    • · Table A-V/1-1-2. Specification of the minimum standards of competence in advanced training for oil tanker cargo operations. 
    • · Table A-V/1-1-3. Specification of the minimum competency standards in advanced training for chemical cargo operations 
    • · Table A-V/1-2-1. Specification of the minimum standards of competence in basic training for cargo operations in tankers for the transport of liquefied gas. 
    • · Table A-V/1-2-2. Specification of the minimum standards of competence in advanced training for cargo operations in tankers for the transport of liquefied gas.
