- Solar energy solutions, system size and viability

Teaching methods

Opintojakson toteutus perustuu teoriaan ja harjoitustehtäviin, joista osa on palautettavia ja arvioitavia. Opintojakson lopussa on tentti. Opintojakson tunneilla on vierailevina asiantuntijoina kahden aurinkoenergiayrityksen edustajat sekä alan projektiasiantuntija.

Opintojakson aineistot muodostuvat ppt-esityksistä ja niissä mainituista lähteistä.

Toteutus perustuu kumuloituvaan osaamiseen, jossa opintojakson aikana saatua osaamista sovelletaan seuraavissa osioissa ja tehtävissä. Excelin perusosaaminen on edellytyksenä tehtävien sujuvaan tekemiseen.

Tehtävien arvioinnissa hyödynnetään Moodlen suoritusten seurantaa, joka tarkoittaa, että pääosassa arvioitavia tehtäviä avautuu tehtäväpalautuksen jälkeen monivalinta, johon opiskelija kirjaa tehtävän vastaukset, ja jonka kautta tehtäväpisteet muodostuvat.
