  Description Qualification Training and Learning Results
Laboratory practical Attendance to the laboratory sessions is mandatory and attendance to at least 80% of the internships will be required in order for this methodology to be evaluated.

The attendance and the work done by the students during the realization of the practices in the laboratory (1 point, 10%)

A practical exam in the laboratory at the end of the course (1,5 points, 15%). To pass this methodology, students have to get a minimum mark of 0,6 points in the practical exam.

Other comments on the Evaluation
The update oficial calendar of the final exams can be found at:  http://mar.uvigo.es/alumnado/examenes/

The final qualification of the subject is the sum of the mark obtained in each of the proposed methodologies, provided that the rating of each one of them exceed 40% of the mark.

Laboratory practical: in the case of unexcused absences higher than 20%, there will be no right to the recovery of this learning methodology in the second opportunity. In the case of not reaching 40% of the grade of the laboratory exam, students will have the right to take another laboratory exam at the second opportunity.

Collaborative learning: in the case of not reaching 40% of the grade in the collaborative work, the student will be entitled to submit new work in the second opportunity.

Seminars: in the case of unexcused absences, students will not have the right to recover this methodology at the second opportunity.

Lectures: in the second opportunity the final exam will be worth 5 points (50%); follow-up tests (continuous evaluation) are carried out throughout the course will not be taken into account. The exam will consist of a multiple-choice part similar to the follow-up tests and another part of short answers.

In the second opportunity the student must present only failed methodologies.

NOT EVALUATED qualification will be applicated to students who will not present or the final exam of theory or the practical exam.

The marks obtained in seminars and tutorized works will be kept for the next course.









Global assessment option

The global assesment option will consist of a written exam of the theoretical contents (50% of the qualification) and of the seminars (European regulation of fish and shellfish labeling and zoning in the rocky intertidal in Galicia) (25%), followed by an exam in the laboratory in which the knowledge and skills of the students in the practical contents of the subject will be evaluated (25%).

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, 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).


Students are strongly requested to fulfill a honest and responsible behaviour. 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 behaviour 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.
