DETAILED INFORMATION:
Theory classes will be carried out by participatory lectures, using blackboard and powerpoint presentations.
Practical classes will be carried out by groups of 20 people, as usual in the Cartographic and Geodesic Engineering and Photogrammetry area.
Students will develop their practicals along three stages: field work, practical supervision in tutorial classes, and a final exam.
Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support
The assessment of the course will be carried out in the following way:
THEORY. There will be an exam in the official dates (Ordinaria 1 and Extraordinaria 2 calls). This exam is composed by two parts: Theory (multi-choice questions, short answer questions,â¦) 40% and practical exercises 60%. The mark obtained in this exam will account for 60% of the final mark of the subject. Both parts must be passed independently with a minimum mark of 5.0. All students must identify with their ID card. Any electronical device with connection to a mobile data network is forbidden in the place of the exam. Mobile phones must be switched off and kept in rucksacks, handbags,⦠To attend the written exam, the students must comply with what it is specified in the Practicals part.
PRACTICALS. Every group of 20 students will be divided in 5 teams of 4 students. Every team will develop some field works and will perform the calculations of the different practicals preparing a report which must be delivered at the end of the semester. There will be also an individual written exam in the last practical session. The mark obtained in the report, in the individual exam together to the continuous assessment by the lecturer/instructor along the semester will constitute the final mark in the practicals part. This will account for 40% of the final mark of the subject. If the report is not delivered by the end of the semester, the team will not be able to attend the written the exam, and so, they will not pass the subject in the current academic year. If the team do not pass the practicals, they will have to correct what will be said by the lecturer/instructor and deliver the practicas again and before Easter holidays.
