2035 - NAUTICAL SPORTS II

Subject type: Optional

Coordinator: Sara González Millán

Trimester: First term

Credits: 6

The subject of Water Sports II has a marked intensive theoretical-practical character, distributing its load to 50% between theoretical and practical contents so that the student is able to be supported in a solid theoretical base thus to be able to apply and to transfer this acquired knowledge to the practical context of a much more efficient and effective way.

This theoretical-practical knowledge aims to deepen sailing, both with fixed and free equipment, as it is a subject that continues with the knowledge acquired in Water Sports I and, therefore, the level they will have to acquire students will be much higher working both technique and tactics of sailing following the standards of the Catalan Sailing Federation. In addition, the necessary skills in the methodology of teaching water sports as well as aspects of safety at sea will also be worked on, fundamental elements that always accompany sailing in any nautical installation.

The practical part of the subject will be taught in the facilities of the Nautical Clubs, as indicated in the schedule of the subject.

For the good development of the practices, each student will have to bring his own material, neoprene and covered shoes that can get wet, and in case of not having the basic material, the student will have at his disposal in the school of sails this material to be able to rent it for the whole subject.

This subject has methodological and digital resources to make possible its continuity in non-contact mode in the case of being necessary for reasons related to the Covid-19. In this way, the achievement of the same knowledge and skills that are specified in this teaching plan will be ensured.

In addition, the social and environmental relevance of the gender perspective will be emphasized, through the course syllabus, as well as through information search activities and critical debates.

1. Identify the psycho and sociomotor requirements of the skills of various sports and sports activities, knowing the technical-tactical elements that structure them and execute them basically.

The methodology of the subject will be carried out combining face-to-face classroom time, with autonomous work time, with the support of the virtual learning environment. The percentage of time the student spends is distributed as follows:

Both in the face-to-face sessions and in the autonomous work, the student will work individually and in work groups.

Each ECTS is equivalent to 25 hours of student dedication, considering the time invested in the total of the activities related to the face-to-face time and the time of autonomous work, that the professor of the subject guides, as well as the reading times, information search, connection to the Virtual Classroom, elaboration of works.

The activities of the subject follow the system of continuous evaluation, that is to say, that throughout the term the professor raises several activities, that the students must solve and deliver. The work of each one of the activities allows to value to the student, the follow-up that does to the asignatura and the elements of improvement, from the comments and notes that the professor will do of the activities.

The proposed activities can be individual or in work groups. The teacher gives the instructions so that the students can elaborate and deliver them. All the activities proposed are designed so that students have a practical perspective on the topics that are developed throughout the ten weeks of the term.

Qualification system (Royal Decree 1125/2003, of 5 September) that establishes the European system of credits and the system of qualifications to the university degrees of official character and validity in all the state territory:

0 - 4,9: Suspended

5,0 - 6,9: Approved

7,0 - 8,9: Notable

9,0 - 10: Excellent

The final grade of the student is the result of a continuous assessment and a final assessment. The pass of the subject is obtained with a grade equal to or higher than 5 points (out of 10 points) according to the following weighting table:

NECESSARY criteria for averaging between the evaluation activities:

The final exam will include the theoretical-practical contents that have been taught during the course, both in the theoretical and practical classes and will be carried out at the end of the course, during the evaluation period of the term in which it is taught and / or during the recovery period.

REQUIREMENTS TO PASS THE CONTINUOUS EVALUATION:

- Compulsory minimum attendance at group practices of 80% and only absences justified by illness or injury certified by a doctor with their membership number will be accepted.

- Qualification of the individual activities must be at least 5 out of 10 possible points. Not recoverable.

- Qualification of the practices in group must be equal or upper to 5 on 10 possible points with assistance of 80%. Not recoverable.

IMPORTANT:

If the continuous assessment is not passed due to non-compliance with the necessary requirements described above, the student will fail the subject.

The total or partial copy in any of the learning activities will mean a "Not Presented" in the subject, without option to present in the proof of recovery and without prejudice of the opening of a file for this reason.
