Project The qualification of the experimental work will be based on the quality of the content and the experimental design, on the treatment and presentation of the results and on the level of knowledge reached. A guide with the evaluation criteria will be provided.

The evaluation will consist of two sections. First, each group will elaborate a poster. Each group will defend the poster in oral format. Second, in this same session each student will make a short proof on the contents of the poster he/she elaborated.

The realisation of the experimental work, including the preparation and presentation of the poster, is compulsory. The relative weight of this part will be of 30% of the total qualification of the subject. The assessment of the poster will represent 60% of the qualification of the experimental work, whereas the proof written will represent 40%.

Those students who did not obtain the minimum qualification to pass this section of the subject and wish to try a second opportunity should deliver a new version of the poster, that will be again evaluated. Since all the students have had to present the poster during the first opportunity, it will not be needed to present it again in the second opportunity. The date of delivery of this new version of the poster will be previous to the date of the exam and the date will be announced in advance. The students will additionally answer a series of questions on the content of the poster during the final examination. Only students who presented a new version of the poster within the term established could answer to these questions.

To pass the subject it will be needed to reach a qualification of at least 5, considering the whole of the activities. Additionally, students should obtain qualification equal or higher than 4 points in the joint qualification of the section of seminars and experimental work.

Other comments on the Evaluation

Global assessment option

The application for this evaluation option must be submitted in the time and manner determined by the Center, which will be published prior to the academic start. Given the experimental nature of the practices and seminars, attendance to these two activities is mandatory to be eligible for this evaluation option. Failure to attend the practices, with no justified cause invalidates this possibility, as well as the opportunity for extraordinary evaluation (2nd opportunity).

Second oportunity

The evaluation in the second opportunity will include an exam of theoretical contents and an exam of the contents of the seminars. Those students who did not obtain the minimum qualification to pass this section of the subject and wish to try a second opportunity should deliver a new version of the poster, that will be again evaluated. Since all the students have had to present the poster during the first opportunity, it will not be needed to present it again in the second opportunity. The date of delivery of this new version of the poster will be previous to the date of the exam and the date will be announced in advance. The students will additionally answer a series of questions on the content of the poster during the final examination. Only students who presented a new version of the poster within the term established could answer to these questions.

Students coursing this matter are requested to demonstrate a responsible and honest behaviour. It is considered as inadmissible any form of fraud (copy or plagiarism). Fraudulent behaviors are not acceptable and will imply a negative qualification of this subject. Dates, hours and place where the evaluation proofs will be conducted will be published in the official web of the Faculty of Sciences of the Sea.
