Methodologies |
Description | |
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms | The teacher will solve practical and facility design exercises using software or similar tools. |
Personal tuition | It will serve to resolve doubts that have arisen during the study of the subject. It will enhance the student's capabilities, so that he is able to learn how to learn. It is intended that you be able to create your own mechanisms, so that based on what you have learned, you can expand, complete and experiment with your concepts, procedures and attitudes both in the academic and professional fields. Group tutorials will be promoted with active participation of students in raising and resolving doubts. Group doubt-solving sessions will be held as a regular part of teaching development. The schedule of tutorials (which may be held in person or by videoconference) will be established based on the course schedules and the availability of the teacher and a tutorial may be arranged with the teacher by request by email and/or the means that the teacher teacher enable. |
PBL (Problem Based Learning) | The teacher poses and solves typical problems on the topics of the subject. These problems serve as a basis for the development of other problems that will be raised in the seminars. |
Field work/trips | Depending on availability and feasibility, facilities covered by the subject will be visited. |
Autonomous study by the student to, among others: * Search for information about what is indicated by the teacher * Search and review additional information * Study the contents addressed in class * Carry out the tasks and tests of the subject | |
Lecture | Verbal presentation of each topic, relying on existing audiovisual resources (projector, cannon, computer equipment, etc.). The student is motivated to actively participate with questions and answers. |

Assessment |
Description | Qualification | ||
Practical tests | Tests on theoretical knowledge and problems. These tests will fundamentally evaluate the mastery of basic knowledge of the subject. Another aspect that will be evaluated with this test is the structuring of the contents, and the correct resolution of the proposed problems. These tests can be carried out in written form, through Moodle or through personal practical exercises. |
40% | |
The evaluation will be based on a continuous evaluation testing methodology with deliverable practical tests focused on the acquisition of practical knowledge in the design and technical and economic evaluation of photovoltaic and solar thermal installations with special emphasis on the design of photovoltaic systems in all their modalities. . Delivery and defense of practical work proposed by the teacher. The work will be eminently practical in nature and must be delivered on time and in the manner indicated in each case. |

Others | Training and continuous evaluation activities and proactivity on the part of the students will also be valued. | 20% | |

COMMENTS ON THE EVALUATION OF THE SUBJECT Evaluation in first call In the first call, a weighting will be carried out following what is indicated in this teaching guide. In the first call test or tests, as well as in the practices, a minimum may be required (which will be indicated) to be able to pass the subject. In the tests, a minimum may be required in some of the parts to be able to pass it. If these minimum requirements are not met, the average will not be taken and the second call (extraordinary) will have to be attended. In order to pass the subject in the first call, a minimum score of 5 points in the weighted global grade must be achieved. The test or tests may consist of theoretical questions, theoretical practices or practical exercises. These tests can be carried out in written form, through Moodle or through personal practical exercises. The score for each section will be detailed in the statement and it will be detailed if there are minimum criteria to pass the test. Delivery of practical tests and assignments All practical tests required during the development of the subject will be delivered through Moodle in digital format, unless otherwise indicated. The delivery format must be that required in the instructions of the practice or work, and they must be delivered on time. All delivery files must be named as required in the statement of the practice or work. Work that fails to comply with this requirement will be counted as delivered and will be graded with a 0 (averaged with the rest of the practices). The delivery of the practices and assignments will be mandatory and it will be a requirement to obtain a minimum grade of 5 points in each of them to be able to pass the practice block of the subject. No average will be made with the rest of the practices if this condition is not met and therefore the practices will be considered not passed, and each practice must be repeated, according to the instructions given, until the minimum grade is exceeded. EXTRAORDINARY CALL The second call and any extraordinary call will be a single test with questions of any type. In this call, 100% of the grade will be that of the exam, but in order to pass the subject it is essential to have passed the subject practices according to the criteria indicated in this teaching guide. It will be required to obtain a grade of 5.0 out of 10.0 in the test to pass the subject. ASSISTANCE AT INDIVIDUAL TESTS AND REVIEWS The student will come provided with valid identification. These tests can be carried out in written form, through Moodle or through personal practical exercises. In the tests, the existing anti-fraud regulations in the ULE will be exhaustively followed. Tests carried out by electronic means must be delivered and carried out using the ULE teaching platform. In the event that it is proven that a student has copied, the current ULE regulations will be applied at all times. The review of any test or exam will be governed by the provisions of the regulations of the University of León and upon request according to the regulatory procedure. Exam review can lead to either an increase or a decrease in the grade of any test. In the event that errors are detected that went unnoticed in the first correction, the grade may be modified downwards. This criterion can cause a student who is initially approved to fail. |

Access to Recommended Bibliography in the Catalog ULE |
Basic | |
Due to the rapid regulatory and technological evolution in the sector, regulations, bibliography and other aspects will be adapted to the latest developments in force at the time of teaching. This includes the technical adaptation of the contents and the basic and complementary sources of information of the subject. The following will be consulted in the form of a basic bibliography, among other sources of information: Current technical regulations Design guides and recommendations Technical instructions Manufacturers catalogs Scientific databases (ScienceDirect) Radiation databases etc These sources of information will serve as basic material for the subject, using, in a similar way, additional sources as an extension. |
