2	Ability to designate wave types and ability to classify the waves
3	Ability to use small amplitude wave theory
4	Ability to explain finite amplitude wave theories
5	Ability to determine wave transformations in the coastal zone
6	Ability to explain basic concepts about current and ability to evaluate wave-current interaction
7	Ability to explain wind-wave interaction and ability to use wave forecasting methods
