DETAILED INFORMATION:

The teaching methodology is based, on the one hand, on classes in a large group where expositions of the theoretical concepts of the subject and the resolution of problems and cases are made. These classes follow a master class scheme in which the participation of the students is encouraged.

Also, practical classes are held in small groups taught in the Digital Photogrammetry Laboratory for the management of specific equipment (photogrammetric scanners, digital photogrammetric stations as well as other specific software).

This scheme of face-to-face activities is complemented with reinforcement activities in the resolution of problems to be developed within the student's autonomous work hours, with subsequent revision by the faculty, and where appropriate, assistance in individual tutoring.

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

DETAILED INFORMATION:

The purpose of the evaluation system is to verify that the students have acquired the competences foreseen for the subject, achieving the expected learning results. In this evaluation it is verified that:

• They have acquired the necessary knowledge on the instrumentation and photogrammetric and topographic methods for the application of methods and instruments of Digital Photogrammetry and other technologies for the direct orientation of sensors, both aerial and satellite-installed, and the generation of digital elevation models and orthoimages.
• They have acquired the knowledge and skills necessary to apply least squares methods in the field of geomatics observations.

The evaluation system is composed of two components:

• Theoretical knowledge and problem solving
• Execution of practical works.

The related assessment of theoretical knowledge and problem solving will be done through a written test that is divided into two parts:

• Theoretical knowledge that will be evaluated by different questions about the subject taught (the questions may have different configuration depending on the elements to be evaluated, from short questions to topics to be developed).
• Resolution of problems that will be developed through the use of a computer system (spreadsheet).

It is considered that this part is exceeded when at least 50% of the maximum score established for each of them is obtained.

The evaluation related to the practical knowledge ( execution of practical works) will be based on the presentation and defense of the works carried out by the students in the practical classes, as an alternative method the students will be able to choose a global test of competences.

The final grade will be the result of the realization of a weighted average between the qualification of the two parties (theoretical knowledge and problem solving, execution of practical works) being their weights of 0.70 and 0.30, respectively. For this average to be done, it will be necessary for the student to have reached at least 50% of the maximum score in the evaluation of theoretical knowledge and problem solving, and in that corresponding to the execution of practical work).

In accordance with the description of competences and results to be achieved and the evaluation methodologies applied, the following correspondence is established:

• Theoretical knowledge and problem solving: R1, R2, R3 / CE25, CE26, CT6
• Execution of practical works: R1, R2, R3 / CB2, CB4, CT1, CT2, CT4, CT6, CE24, CE25, CE26
