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 has three parts: attendance + participation, theory+exercises and practice.

Attendance Participation: attendance will be controlled both at theory and practice lessons and it is required 75% of attendance and an active participation on the Web-Learning System (ILIAS).

Theory+exercises: written exam which includes the theoretical and practice contents of the subject and some exercises or problems.

Practice: the assessment is based on the submission of the projects and exercises made during the practice lessons and the actual own-developed project.

The final mark will be the weighted average of the three parts (attendance + participation, exam and practice), being the weights 0.1, 0.5 and 0.4, respectively. In order to pass the subject, it is necessary to get at least a mark of 5.0 but in order to compute the mark is mandatory to get at least 4.0 (4.0 out of 10) in all three parts.

Given the number of students and the classromm capacities, lessons and examination will be gien at the classrooms/laboratories.

Lectures will involve:

• Theoretical lessons by means of master classes with student participation
• Practice lessons based on the use of photogrammetric workstations for processing RPAS images, multirotor RPAS, control and communication systems and project based learning example, seminars, use of specific software (simulation, mission planning and photogrammetry), field work and practice exercises.

LECTURES  

 Lectures will involve:

- Theoretical lessons by means of master classes with student participation. Lessons will be given on line (for example using Google Meet or UJA's web learning system system).

- Practice lessons based on the use of project based learning examples, seminars, use of specific software (both photogrammetric and laser scanning) and practice exercises. Material (data, tutorials, documentation, etc.) for the practical exercises will be provided by the lecturers. Practical lessons will be supported on line by UJA's web learning system system and Google Meet.

ASSESMENT

The assessment has three parts: attendance, theory+exercises and practice. 

Attendance: attendance will be controlled both at theory and practice lessons. It is required at least a minimum of 75% attendance to the practical lessons and active participation on the Web-Learning System.

Theory+exercises: on-line exam which includes the theoretical and practice contents of the subject and some exercises or problems. UJA's web learning system and Google Meet will be used.

Practice: the assessment is based on the submission of the projects and exercises made during the practice lessons and the actual own-developed project. If required, student can be requested to clarify how they did the exercises by means of on-line platforms (UJA's web learning system, Google Meet, email, etc.).

The final mark will be the weighted average of the three parts (attendance, exam and practice), being the weights 0.1, 0.4 and 0.5, respectively. In order to pass the subject, it is necessary to get at least a mark of 5.0 but in order to compute the mark is mandatory to get at least 4.0 (4.0 out of 10) in all three parts.
