AB Port and Coastal Engineering is a subject included in the third year of the degree in Civil Engineering(Civil Constructions and Hydrology specialty) taught at the Polytechnic School of Algeciras. As this is asubject with a very specific syllabus, there is no textbook (or even appropriate references) thatcontemplates all the related topics of the whole course. Moreover, there are many students who, fordifferent reasons (repeaters, Erasmus, labour obligations, ...), cannot attend the regular classes. Thislack of attendance has been leading to another problem: this kind of students have been leaving thesubject for several years. In addition, understanding of the basic concepts becomes even morecomplicated for Erasmus students enrolled in the subject because of the language barrier. In order tosolve this problem, a project of teaching innovation has been launched which consists of the creation ofa set of evaluable tasks for the different topics addressed to be performed by the students. In this way,the students are motivated to keep up-to-date the course contents. A comparison of the last year resultswith those of the preceding five years is provided. Finally, an analysis of the significance of theimprovement is also presented.
