Assessment

	Description	Qualification	Training and Learning Results
Lecturing	The students, during two sessions of classroom teaching, will make in each of them a questionnaire type test with 20 questions on the topics that have been taught to date. This questioned will be accessible from the Moovi platform for all those students present in the classroom and will have a maximum time of 20 minutes to do so. Each well-answered question will have a value of 0.50 points and the poorly answered questions will subtract 0.25 points each. Unanswered questions will not add or subtract points. The final grade of these two tests shall be calculated with the geometric mean of the grades obtained.	7.5	A2 A4	B1 B2 B3	C6 C7	D1 D2
Problem solving	The students, during two classroom teaching sessions, will solve in each of them a problem on the calculation of the concentration of a compound of interest in oceanography, using a method of chemical analysis, from the data normally obtained in a laboratory work, and express the result with the correct significant units and figures. This problem will be accessible from the Moovi platform for all students present in the classroom and will have a maximum time of 25 minutes to do it. The result obtained shall be evaluated. The final grade of these two tests shall be calculated with the geometric mean of the grades obtained.	7.5	A2 A4	B1 B2 B3 B4	C6 C7	D1 D2
Laboratory practical	The laboratory practicals are compulsory for all students and will be evaluated according to the work done during the laboratory sessions, according to quality criteria published on the Moovi platform.	3.75	A2 A4	B1 B2 B3 B4	C6 C7	D1 D2
Report of practices, practicum and external practices	The laboratory work and the practical report will be assessed by the teaching staff according to previously established criteria based on rubrics that will be published on the Moovi platform. In the event that the work is not original (it is a copy of another work or from the network), the teacher will not evaluate the work.	21.25	A2 A4	B1 B2 B3 B4	C6 C7	D1 D2
Essay questions exam	At the end of each seminar session, students will have to answer a questionnaire accessible on the Moovi platform within the established deadline.	25	A2 A4	B1 B2 B3 B4	C6 C7	D1 D2
Objective questions exam	In the final exams, students will have to take a multiple-choice exam in which they will answer 40 questions on the aspects presented in the Master Class sessions. In each question, students will select a single answer that they consider correct. Each correctly answered question will be worth 0.250 points and incorrectly answered questions will subtract 0.125 points. Unanswered questions will neither add nor subtract points each.	17.5	A2 A4	B1 B2 B3	C6 C7	D1 D2
Problem and/or exercise solving	The problems will consist of calculating the concentration of a compound of interest in oceanography, using a method of chemical analysis, from data normally obtained in laboratory work, and expressing the result with the correct units and significant figures. The result obtained will be evaluated, as well as the clarity and reasoning used to arrive at it. The final examination will consist of the solution of three problems of this type and the mark for each problem will appear in the statement of the examination.	17.5	A2 A4	B1 B2 B3 B4	C6 C7	D1 D2

Other comments on the Evaluation
The date, time and place of the evaluation tests will be published on the official website of the Faculty of Marine Sciences: http://mar.uvigo.es/alumnado/examenes/ The subject consists of four main blocks and the score of each of them is weighted with 25% on the final grade: 1.- Part of theory: which is divided into "Objective questions exam", 17.5%, and the tests included in "Lecturing", 7.5%. To consider passed this part, students will have to obtain a grade equal to or greater than 5 points in each of the tests. 2.- Part of problems: which is divided into "Problem and/or exercise solving", 17.5% and the tests included in "Problem solving", 7.5%. To consider passed this part, students will have to obtain a grade equal to or greater than 5 points in each of the tests. 3.- Seminar work (Essay questions exam, 25%). The average score of the seminars will be calculated with the geometric mean obtained with the qualifications of each of the questionnaires carried out. To be considered passed this test, students will have to obtain a grade equal to or greater than 5 points. 4.- Laboratory practice. The work carried out in the laboratory (3.75%, 1.5 points out of 10) and the corresponding practice report (21.25%, 8.5 points out of 10) will be evaluated following criteria that will be published in the Moovi platform. The average grade of laboratory practice shall be calculated on the basis of the geometric mean of the grades obtained in each of the practices. To be considered passed this test, students will have to obtain a grade equal to or greater than 5 points. To pass the subject you will need to pass with a minimum of 5 points out of 10 in each of these blocks. If the minimum mark is not exceeded in any of the blocks, the maximum mark which may be entered in the Minutes shall be 4,5 points. If the grade obtained in the "Objective questions exam" is equal to or greater than 5 points and, in turn, higher than that achieved in the "Lecturing" tests, the total grade that will be in Block 1 will be the "Objective questions exam". If the grade obtained in the "Problem and/or exercises solving" is equal to or greater than 5 points and, in turn, higher than the one achieved in the "Problem Solving" tests, the total grade in Block 2 shall be that of "Problem and/or exercises solving". In case of not reaching the minimum score in blocks 1.- and/or 2.-, the part of the "Objective questions exam" and/or "Problem and/or exercise solving" not passed will have to be taken again in the 2nd opportunity exam. In case of not reaching the minimum score in block 3.-, the students, individually, will have to carry out again the questionnaires of those sessions of seminaries in which it has obtained a qualification inferior to 5 points in the term that the/the corresponding teacher will consider appropriate. In case of not reaching the minimum score in blocks 4.-, the students will have to send again the reports of practices with the relevant corrections, in the time that the/the corresponding teacher will consider appropriate. The performance by the students of any test shown in the table above will be taken into account immediately for the final grade and will appear in the minutes as a student presented in the corresponding call. The unjustified absence to one of the sessions of seminars and/or practices, blocks 3.- and 4.-, supposes the non evaluation of the corresponding block, being repeated in the following course. The ratings and each of the blocks will be published on the Moovi platform, indicating the date, time and place of the corresponding revisions. 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 at them 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).
