General description Aínda que en principio pódese considerar que a manobra de buques é unha arte máis que unha ciencia, o maniobrista que coñece un pouco da ciencia, será mellor no desenvolvemento da súa arte de manobrar o buque. O coñecemento da ciencia capacitaralle para identificar máis facilmente as características de manobra do buque e unha rápida avaliación da destreza necesaria para o seu control. Un maniobrista necesita comprender que está a suceder no seu buque e o máis importante, que lle ocorrerá nun curto período de tempo futuro. Por este motivo, o principal obxectivo que se pretende con este curso é o coñecemento da ciencia no que incumbe á manobra dos buques, facendo especial fincapé nas competencias a nivel de xestión que debe de atesourar un Capitán de acordo ao Convenio STCW.

No caso de alumnos que non estean en posesión do Grao en Náutica e Transporte Marítimo e que, polo tanto, o Máster non o habilite profesionalmente, o profesor poderá adaptar a materia ás necesidades do alumno.
Contingency plan a. Modificacións nos contidos:
Non se realizan cambios.
b. Metodoloxías que se manteñen:
• Solución de problemas
• Estudios de casos
• Prueba obxectiva
• Sesión maxistral
• Actividades iniciais
Metodoloxías que se modifican:
i. Todas as metodoloxías pasaríanse a impartir a través do Teams/Moodle, de forma síncrona y/ou asíncrona.
c. Mecanismos de atención personalizada ao alumno:
i. – Correo electrónico: Diariamente. De uso pra facer consultas, solicitar encontros virtuais para resolver dúbidas e facer o seguimento dos traballos tutelados.
ii. – Moodle: Diariamente. Segundo a necesidade do alumando. Dispoñen de “foros temáticos” asociados aos módulos da materia, para formular as consultas necesarias. Tamén hai “foros de actividade específica” para desenvolver as “Discusións dirixidas”, a través das que se pon en práctica o desenvolvemento de contidos teóricos da materia.
iii. – Teams: unha sesión semanal en gran grupo para o avance dos contidos teóricos e dos traballos tutelados na franxa horaria que ten asignada a materia no calendario de aulas da Escola. Sesións adicionais segundo o demande o alumnado, bien en gran grupo, bien en pequeños grupos, segundo a demanda. Esta dinámica permite facer un seguimento normalizado e axustado as necesidades da aprendizaxe do alumando para desenvolver o traballo da materia.

d. Modificacións na avaliación:
Se manteñen as metodoloxías de avaliación e os % no peso da cualificación, incluido a asistencia, participación e aproveitamento das clases.
Observación de avaliación:
Mantéñense as mesmas que figuran na Guía Docente.
No referente ao “Alumnado con reconñecemento de dedicación a tempo parcial e dispensa académica de exenc´n de asistencia” o profesor poñe a disposición do alumno os apunte actualizados da materia en Moodle, non se lle exixe a asistencia a clase para a súa avaliación nas dos oportunidades de xaneiro e xullo e no relativo ás tutorías do profesor

Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Objective test Written learning assessment test.
A final exam will be held to pass the entire subject by course (IN ALL CASE BEFORE THE JANUARY OPPORTUNITY). Only for students who have 90% class attendance. The required grade of this exam to pass the Subject will in any case be 5.0.
Introductory activities The first classes of the academic year will be devoted to a series of initial activities in which the subject will be presented to the students, and will seek to determine the competences, interests and motivations that students possess for the attainment of the objectives to be achieved. This is intended to obtain relevant information that articulates teaching to promote effective and meaningful learning processes, based on students' prior knowledge.
Problem solving Individual practical work in the classroom/home, which may require the use of ICT and/or prior or subsequent self-study/work of the student
Case study Practical group work in the classroom/home, which may require prior or subsequent self-study/work of the student.
Guest lecture / keynote speech Oral exposure of the subject matter (following the contents described in the Teaching Guide) supplemented by the use of audiovisual presentations and the introduction of some questions to students, to convey knowledge and facilitate learning and knowledge building.
Within this dynamic, the intervention of students will be open for the realization of questions or comments, which could lead to open discussions.
Most of the themes have been prepared in .ppt presentations where many original drawings have been inserted into AutoCad in order to serve the student in the task of the study, because, in many cases, with this strategy it is a question of the images speaking for themselves. These topics also contain a lot of written information that students will need to complete with the teacher's explanations in class and, if they see suitable, with the help of the recommended literature. The Subject will be taught in Spanish, but the slides will contain most of the information preferably in English in order for the student to become acquainted with the Technical-Maritime English although of course the Professor will exhibit them in Spanish.
In relation to the master classes, and those aspects expressly indicated by the Professor, students should expand the content with their personal work with the help of appropriate bibliographic and tutorials.
In case of using audiovisual texts or presentations, these will be made available to students long enough that they can read it in advance.
NOTE: with this Methodology, the student acquires the competences of the Master studies: A10, A11, B9, B10, B11, B13, C6 and C8.

Description
Personalized attention in the face-to-face mode to the student, understood as a support in the teaching-learning process related to the study of the subject, will be conducted in the teacher's tutoring hours in order to provide the student with guidance, support and motivation in the learning process.
Teacher will attend any questions of the students in their tutoring hours.
Regarding the "Students with part-time dedication and academic attendance waiver" the Teacher makes available to the student the updated notes of the Subject in reprography room, does not require class attendance for evaluation on both occasions in January and July and with regard to the Professor's tutoring, not only will you be willing to resolve the doubts presented to these types of students in the hours established for this purpose by the Professor; but also in any other where you are in the office and the other activities you are developing allow it.
As regards the content of the objective test on both occasions, this will be the one generally established in the description of it.

Other comments
Knowledge relating to the subjects taught in Nautical and Maritime Transport "Maniobra I" and "Maniobra II" must be in good knowledge, for as a Professional Master, this particular subject is nothing more than a continuation particularly those relating to the level of management as provided for in the STCW Convention.
