Methodologies
|
Description |
Introductory activities |
Introduction to the subject, explaining the objectives, syllabus, planning, operation of practices and groups, as well as evaluation and bibliography.
|
Scientific and/or communication events |
The teacher exposes the syllabus of the subject. The student intervenes by posing questions to the teacher. |
Problem solving, exercises in the classroom |
The teacher performs exercises on the theoretical concepts of the master sessions and comments on various aspects of specific technical documentation.
|
Practical cases/ case studies |
Approach of extension points linked to the syllabus, in which the student must work to give a reasoned solution to the subject, solve a series of specific questions or make a global reflection.
|
Laboratory practicals |
The sessions are guided by the laboratory teacher and the students carry them out in groups. Attendance is mandatory
|
Personal attention |
The teachers of the subject have fixed a schedule of attention to the students. It is recommended to make an appointment by email.

Other comments and second exam session |
The two partial exams must be released separately. Each partial exam is released if the grade exceeds 4 points out of 10. To make the final grade of theory, it is necessary that the average of the two partials exceeds 5 points out of 10. In any case, if a student fails both partials, the student will only have to compulsorily submit to the second call of the partials below 4 points. The final grade of theory comes from making the average mark of the two partials. The practices according to their duration have a joint weight of 10%, they are compulsory attendance, that is, 5% per part. The practices of the first part (hydraulic and wind...) and the practices of the second part (photovoltaic, batteries ...) must be approved separately In case of discrepancies in the Spanish or English versions, the Catalan version rules. |
