course aims in Estonian
Aine eesmärk on anda rahvusvaheliselt tunnustatud praktilisele kasutamisele suunatud teoreetilised teadmised laevast kui juhitavast objektist, laeva juhtimise teoreetilistest alustest, juhtimist mõjutavatest sisemistest ja välistest jõududest. Õppija omandab arusaama vee takistuse, laeva kiiruse, madalvee, kalda ja teiste laevade ning loodusnähtuste: tuule ja hoovuse mõjust juhitavusele. Saab teadmised laeva manööveromadustest ja nende parandamise võimalustest vastavalt STCW-78 koos muudatustega osa A-II/1 nõuetele.
course aims in English
To provide internationally adopted knowledge and understanding on a ship as handled body and theoretical base of shiphandling and relevant internal and external forces: effect of water resistance, ship speed, shallow water, proximity of banks and other ships, winds and current to ship maneuvering ability. Knowledge on ship maneuverability and improving those according to STCW-78 as amended part A-II/1 requirements.
learning outcomes in the course in Est.
Õppeaine edukalt läbinud üliõpilane:
- tunneb laeva juhtimise teoreetilisi aluseid;
- oskab arvesse võtta laevakerest, sõukruvist ja roolist ning nende vastasmõjudest tulenevad juhitavust mõjutavaid jõude;
- oskab arvestada vee takistust laeva liikumisele, tuule mõju, madalvee, kitsuste, interaktsiooninähtuste ja hoovuste mõju juhitavusele;
- tunneb laeva manööveromaduste ja juhitavuse parandamise võtteid ja meetodeid;
- tunneb ühe ja mitme sõukruvi, muutsammsõukruvi, põtkurseadmete, ankrute ja puksiirabi kasutamise võtteid ja nende mõju juhitavusele.
learning outcomes in the course in Eng.

      Assesament criterion
      Assessment method:
      I. The level of achieving the learning outcomes is assessed according to the following scale:
      1) „A “(5) (Excellent) –an excellent and outstandingly comprehensive level of achieving learning outcomes that is characterized by free and creative use of knowledge and skills at a level that is above very good.
      2) “B” (4) (Very good) –a very good level of achieving the learning outcomes that is characterized by a purposeful and creative use of knowledge and skills. In case of more specific and detailed knowledge and skills, insubstantial minor mistakes might occur.
      3) „C” (3) (Good) –a good level of learning outcomes is achieved that is characterized by a purposeful use of knowledge and skills. In case of more specific and detailed knowledge and skills, the student is uncertain and imprecise.
      4) „D” (2) (Satisfactory) –achieving a sufficient level of learning outcomes that is characterized by the ability to use knowledge and skills in ordinary situations; however, in unusual situations deficiencies and hesitation become apparent
      5) „E” (1) (Poor) –achieving the most important learning outcomes at a minimum level that is characterized by a limited use of knowledge and skills under typical circumstances; however, in unusual situations, significant deficiencies and hesitation become apparent.
      6) „F” (0) (Fail) –student has acquired knowledge and skills at a level below the minimum.
      II Testpapers are assessed as “Excellent” to “Fail”.
      II. Simulator exercises are assessed nondistnctively. In the case of a nondistinctive assessment, the level to which the result is assessed as „satisfactory“ after the achievement of the learning outcomes or beyond, and the level below which the result is deemed to be „not counted“.
      Eligibility for assessment:
      Attending lectures, practical works and simulator trainings. Testpapers to be shown in time ahd assessed not lower than „Satisfactory“. Simulator exercises „counted“.
      Final mark:
      Final mark forms as sum of follows: theoretical knowledge exam 60%, current test and testpapers 20%, simulator training tests 20%.
