Other comments on the Evaluation
The date, time and place of exams will be published in the official web of the Faculty of Marine Sciences: http://mar.uvigo.es/alumnado/examenes/ 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. The mark obtained in the two tasks (synthesis of a scientific article and case resolution) is kept for the 2nd opportunity call. However, the marks obtained in the intermediate test and in the final written test are NOT kept for the 2nd opportunity call. Therefore, all students who make use of the second call must take the final exam, which represents 60% of the total mark for the course. It is possible, after consulting with the coordinator, to deliver the two tasks again for consideration in the second call. All enrolled students must deliver the two tasks, because the marks obtained in earlier academic years are not kept. Students must behave honestly and responsibly. Any form of copying or plagiarism, intended to alter the level of acquired knowledge and abilities, in exams, evaluations, reports or any other kind of student work is completely unacceptable. Fraudulent behaviour may result in the failing of the course for a whole academic year. An internal dossier of these activities will be kept and, in cases of reoffending, the University Rectorate will be asked to open a disciplinary enquiry”
