R1-R2-R3-R4-R5 Laboratory Oral presentation 40%* 0% R1-R2-R4 10%* * ADDIOTIONAL INFORMATION: In order to average a minimum mark of 5 out of 10 is required on the written test and in the other assessment methods. If a final mark of 5 points in each section is not obtained and it is only passed one of them, the subject will be failed although the weighted average will be equal to or greater than 5. The weighted average is also subjected to the presentation of all the work requested. Work delivery types will be individual and group. The percentage of evaluation of this assessment method is broken down into 30% for individual deliveries and 10% for group work delivery. The minimum mark in both types of work should be at least 5 points. The written test represents 50% of the final mark. This test will consist on short questions (30%), problems (10%) and a practical exam of ODV (10%) software. The minimum mark on each section shall be at least 5 points to carry out the weighted average and to pass the written test. The oral presentation should be delivered to teacher previously, on the date specified, for approval. DESCRIPTION OF CONTENTS UNIT 1. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF SEAWATER Lesson 1.
