Continuous evaluation: The student's work throughout the course will be evaluated. In the final qualification, the evaluations/tests carried out throughout the course (practicals and mid-term tests) will represent 60% and the final exam (to be made on the official date) 40%. To pass the subject, it will be compulsory to attend the final exam and to obtain a qualification higher than 3.5 points (out of 10). In case of not obtaining in the final test the minimum qualification to pass the subject, the grade to appear in the official record will be the minimum between 4.9 and the final qualification (weighted).

Second opportunity: In the second opportunity the same scale will be applied as in the continuous evaluation, with the evaluations/tests carried out throughout the course accounting for 60% and the final exam for 40%. In this case, the qualifications of the evaluations/tests carried out throughout the course will be maintained and only the final exam will be repeated, in which a qualification higher than 3.5 points (out of 10) must be obtained in order to pass the subject. In case of not obtaining in the final test the minimum qualification to pass the subject, the grade to appear in the official record will be the minimum between 4.9 and the final qualification (weighted).

Global evaluation: As an alternative to the continuous evaluation system, students may choose to be evaluated with a final exam that will represent 100% of the qualification. In this case, it will be necessary to obtain a qualification higher than 5 points (out of 10) in order to pass the subject. The
application for this evaluation option must be submitted in the time and manner
determined by the Center, which will be published before the academic start. 

The date, time and place of the final exams will be published on the official website of the Faculty of Marine Sciences.

Students are strongly requested to fulfill a honest and responsible behavior. It is considered completely unacceptable any alteration or fraud (i.e., copy or plagiarism) contributing to modify the level of knowledge and abilities acquired in exams, evaluations, reports or any kind of teacher’s proposed work. Fraudulent behavior may cause failing the course for a whole academic year. An internal dossier of these activities will be built and, when reoffending, the university rectorate will be asked to open a disciplinary record.
