4. OBJECTIVES
The student will be able to identify the characteristics of the different types of marine works, to understand the functional needs of those most common marine works, used both in port engineering and coastal engineering.
Students will familiarize themselves with the machinery and construction processes of the marine works.
Students will be able to understand, predict and act accordingly against the risks for the construction, operation or maintenance of maritime works represent environmental variables such as wind, waves, currents and tides.

7. ASSESSMENT METHODS AND CRITERIA
Description Type Final Eval. Reassessment
Partial exam Written exam No Yes 50,00
Final exam Written exam Yes Yes 50,00
100,00 TOTAL
Observations
The partial exam is discharging for the final exam, if approved, the final exam will only include parts 8-14.
Both test are recoverable, they may be individually recovered in the official period set by the University (September). If any part of the course are not approved the student will have to re-examined all the parts the following year, regardless of whether they have approved the partial test.
The partial exam will be averaged with the final test. A suspended in the partial partial note will not be taken into account. Practices are compulsory and will be required to make the exams. They will be corrected but will not be qualified nor taken into account for the final note.
'In connection with the resolutions adopted at the regular meeting of the School Board held on June 10, 2010, states that, with respect to evaluation activities having the character of recoverable,
• As a general criterion approved test will have a note of 5 or more / 10.
Note: According to the Royal Decree RD 1125/2003 on the European credit system and the grading system in the university degrees of official and valid throughout the national territory, the results obtained by the student in each of the subjects of the curriculum will be graded according to the following numerical scale of 0-10, with one decimal, which may be added corresponding qualitative rating:
0.0 to 4.9: Suspense (SS). 5.0 to 6.9: Approved (AP). 7.0 to 8.9: Notable (NT). 9.0 to 10: Outstanding (SB) '. Observations for part-time students
