Other comments on the Evaluation
CALCULATION OF THE FINAL GRADES 1. GRADING FROM CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT (70%): a. Field trips (10%); b. Seminars (30%); c. Topical questionnaires (30%). 2. FINAL TEST NOTE: 30% The average of each of these sections (1a, 1b, 1c) must be >/= 4.00. The maximum grade in this section can only be = 5 if the students do not sit the final exam. Final grade: continuous assessment mark (70%) + Final exam mark (20%) Improvement on the final grade: students who achieve a FINAL NOTE >/= 8 will be allowed to access an oral test to improve their mark. ATTENDANCE Attendance at fieldtrips, seminars, and laboratory practicals is an essential requirement to be admitted to the final exam. Attendance at less than 80% of the lectures, and/or failing to take part to even one of the fieldtrips will preclude admission to the final exam. Failing the final exam implies that none of the partial marks (i.e., those obtained for the seminar essays and fieldtrip reports) will be kept for the following academic year. Date, time and place of the exams will be published in the official web of Marine Sciences Faculty: http://mar.uvigo.es/index.php/en/alumnado-actual-2/examenes-3 ________________________________________________ The students are strongly requested to have an honest and responsible conduct. It is considered completely unacceptable any alteration or fraud (i.e., copy and/or plagiarism) that are aimed at modifying the level of knowledge and skills acquired during the course and that are evaluated during exams, essays, reports or any kind of work requested by the course’s lecturers. Fraudulent behaviour may result in failing the course for a whole academic year. An internal dossier of these activities will be made. In case of a repeat offence, the university rectorate will be asked to open a disciplinary file.
