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.
