Description
Practices with electrical panels that implement the assembly of circuits after the design.
After the delivery of the bulletins of the problem, giving time to the resolution on the part of the students, they will be solved in the classroom, clarifying the doubts.
Directed discussion seeks to raise issues whose solution involves knowledge of the topic discussed above.
The oral presentation will consist of the explanatory development of the subjects of the subject, by the teacher, using various educational resources.
The objective test will usually include the development of theoretical questions, problems, and the elaboration of electrical diagrams.
The reading will be about technical articles in English on the content of the subject.
The seminars will be held with small groups that will address a topic and encourage participation and group work.

Assessment comments

The percentages are only a first approximation. The evaluation criteria set out in Table A-III / 2 of the STCW Code and included in the Quality Assurance System will be taken into account when designing and conducting the evaluation. The assessment is to verify the specific competencies A2-A5-A6-A7-A14 and the transversal type B: B2-B4-B5

The evaluation criteria set out in Tables A-III / 1 and A-III / 3 of the STCW, and included in the quality assurance system, are taken into account so that students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption exemption from attendance , as established by the "RULE THAT REGULATES OR RULES OF DEDICATION TO STUDY TWO UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS IN THE UDC (Art. 2.3; 3. b; 4.3 and 7.5) (05/04/2017): possibility to get a 100% grade.
