7. Activities, Units/Modules and Methodology
| Training Activity | Methodology | Related Competences (only degrees before RD 822/2021) | ECTS | Hours | As | Com | Description | |
| Class Attendance (theory) [ON-SITE] | Lectures | CB01 CB02 CB03 CB04 CB05 CEE10 CG03 CG04 CG06 CG07 CT01 CT02 CT03 CT04 | 1.2 | 30 | N | N | The classroom sessions of the Renewable Energy course will be structured as follows: Definitions, mathematical demonstrations, and simple examples will be explained using a projector presentation. In addition to delivering the content, the professor will interact with the students by asking questions or presenting simple exercises to verify if the students truly understand what has been explained. The whiteboard will also be used to perform complex practical exercises and reinforce the explanation of any aspects that may not have been sufficiently clear and require additional clarification. The collections of slides used in the theoretical classes will be made available to the students with sufficient advance notice so that they can bring them to the classes or even read them before the sessions. The virtual platform Moodle will be utilized for this purpose. | |
| Problem solving and/or case studies [ON-SITE] | Problem solving and exercises | CB01 CB02 CB03 CB04 CB05 CEE10 CG03 CG04 CG06 CG07 CT01 CT02 CT03 CT04 | 0.4 | 10 | N | N | In the classroom exercise solving sessions, the professor will present a series of exercises or practical cases for the students to work on. During this time, students will have the assistance of the professor, who will address doubts both individually and for the entire class. It is important to encourage students to interact with each other by asking questions and seeking clarification. This allows students to explain exercises to their peers, promoting the use of technical language among students. Once the designated time has elapsed, either the professor or a student will solve the exercises on the whiteboard. | |

The final exam will mainly consist of theoretical questions, and some practical exercises will also be included. The estimated duration of the final exam is 2 hours. The following aspects will be assessed in this exam: Clarity and accuracy in answering the theoretical questions. Approach to solving the exercises. Obtaining correct results. Explanation of the steps followed in solving the exercises. Presentation and clarity in completing the exams. | ||

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Theoretical papers assessment | 5.00% | 5.00% | The students will carry out theoretical/calculative work related to renewable energies. |
| Test | 60.00% | 60.00% | Written exam |
| Practicum and practical activities reports assessment | 35.00% | 35.00% | The students will engage in various individual and group practical assignments that focus on the calculation of renewable energy-based installations and the status of implementation of these energies in different parts of the world. Some of these assignments will be presented publicly to the rest of the class. The following will be evaluated: Timely submission of assignments. Content of the assignments. Quality of the writing in the assignments. Presentation of the assignments. |
| Total: | 100.00% | 100.00% |
According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).
