General description

Tradicionalmente usouse o consumo enerxético como unha variable (xunto con outras) que axudaba a avaliar o desenvolvemento dos países. Hoxe esta visión está a cambiar dende a óptica da sustentabilidade dende a que a satisfacción das necesidades actuais non pode comprometer os recursos das xeracións do futuro.
Entre os obxectivos de desenvolvemento do milenio áchase en sétimo lugar: Garantir o aceso a unha enerxía alcanzable, segura, sustentable e moderna para todos. A cooperación ao desenvolvemento deseña, e leva a cabo accións en orde a alcanzar este e os demais obxectivos.
Nesta materia explorase e afondase nestes eidos, non só dende unha visión altruísta senón tamén tendo en conta a proxección de oportunidade de negocio que supón para as empresas que desexen acceder a novos mercados facendo uso dunha licencia social.

Contingency plan

1. Modificacións nos contidos
Non hai

2. Metodoloxías

Mantéñense a totalidade das metodoloxías salvo a Táboa redonda, que non se levará a cabo de non poder facerse a través dunha plataforma virtual. Aínda así podería manterse no caso de ser factible a súa realización en forma remota.

3. Mecanismos de atención personalizada ao alumnado
Por correo electrónico, Moodle ou TEAMS, de xeito ordinario unha vez á semana. E de xeito extraordinario por petición do alumnado en calquera momento dentro da xornada laboral non ocupada do profesor.

4. Modificacións na avaliación

Non hai cambios na avaliación, salvo que de non facerse Táboas redondas, a súa calificación reasignarase as outras metodoloxías.

5. Modificacións da bibliografía ou webgrafía
Non hai.

Methodologies

Methodologies	Description
Panel discussion	Cooperation agents with experience in development projects will be invited to one or more discussion sessions related to the field of energy. Students should prepare questions for the panel, and they may be asked to prepare a subsequent document based on the discussions.
Supervised projects	The student will have to develop one or more works based on the logical framework approach, following the guidelines given by the teacher. They can be individual or collective character.
Collaborative learning	Small groups for the development of some issues will be formed. Each member will have to act as trainer for the other members of the group.
Document analysis	The students will have to analyze and extract information from sources suggested by the teacher, and from other sources proposed by them.
Guest lecture / keynote speech	The teacher will do an introduction to the issues and proposing activities, which will develop in the classroom and beyond. It is intended that these sessions be as participatory as possible.

Personalized attention

Methodologies

Collaborative learning

Description

The students will have the collaboration of the teacher as advisor to the preparation of the subject that corresponds within their group. Personalized attention is done in the classroom itself, during the development of the sessions by means of dialogue among the teacher and the members of the different groups, but it is also carried out through mail and messaging from Moodle, or TEAMS, in ordet to the resolution of specific doubts that may arise.

Assessment

Methodologies	Competencies	Description	Qualification
Panel discussion	B3 B1 B2 B5 B7 C2 C4	The following aspects will be assessed: Attendance, involvement and active participation in the debate. Preparation of subsequent documents if delivery is requested	20
Supervised projects	A13 B3 B1 B2 B6 B9 B10 B16 B18 C5	The development process and the final result achieved will be assessed, taking in account the effort, and the interest of achieved end product	30
Collaborative learning	B3 B1 B5 B7 B9 B10 B18 C5	Participation in the group will be assessed, and the achieved results to be demonstrated by exposure or presentation of a document individually or together.	25
Document analysis	A13 B3 B5 B9 C4 C5	This activity can serve as a basis for tutored work and collaborative learning, but it can also be independent of them. It will be asked for delivery of an individual work on the analyzed sources	25

Assessment comments
Other means of evaluation can be granted in an individual way, when there be reasonable grounds. Techniques of co-evaluation and self-evaluation could be applied in order to obtain the final grade of the subject.
