| Methodologies |
| Methodologies | Description |
| Problem solving | Assumptions or problems related to the subject will be proposed |
| Supervised projects | The realization of one or several projects of wind, hydraulic or marine energy installations will be proposed, for which a report and an exhibition will have to be presented. |
| Seminar | They will consist of conferences given by professionals from the sector |
| Mixed objective/subjective test | Al final del cuatrimestre, en las fechas determinadas por el calendario del Máster, se realizará una prueba objetiva en la que se evalúen los conocimientos adquiridos en la materia, tanto de las clases como de los seminarios |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | The contents of the syllabus will be reviewed during classes to expose the main concepts that allow the student to carry out problems and related works. |

| Assessment | |||
| Methodologies | Competencies | Description | Qualification |
| Problem solving | A7 A8 A13 A14 B2 B5 C7 | During the course, problems will be proposed that the students have to solve during the timetable of one of the classes to be evaluated. | 20 |
| Supervised projects | A7 A8 B2 B5 B9 B11 B16 C2 C3 C5 C8 | The students will propose the scope of their work, totally related to the subject matter, and must be approved by the teacher in order to begin its execution. | 30 |
| Mixed objective/subjective test | A7 A13 B2 | On the official dates set by the Master's calendar, an objective test was carried out | 50 |
| Assessment comments | |||
|
It will be carried out in the official calls. However, throughout the course, a personalized follow-up will be carried out, assessing the degree of achievement of the objectives by the students. Class attendance is recommended, so that it is possible to monitor the achievement of the objectives. - The evaluation criteria will be the same for the 1st and 2nd opportunity and the extraordinary calls. similar tests. - The fraudulent performance of the tests or evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply the qualification of suspense in the call in which it is committed: the student will be qualified with "suspense" (numerical note 0) in the corresponding call of the academic year, whether the commission of the offense occurs on the first opportunity or on the second. For this, their qualification will be modified in the first opportunity certificate, if necessary. |
