Classroom activities

• Theory lectures (TE): presentation of the theoretical contents of the subject.
• Problem-solving lectures (PAUL): solving practical exercises related to theory, with student participation.
• Laboratory sessions (PLAB): application of the theoretical concepts presented in theory and exercices to real practical cases and contact with planning, analysis and simulation software.

Autonomous activities

• Study of the theoretical and practical contents of the subject. Preparation of exercices, laboratory practices and exams.
• Practical works: realization and deepening of laboratory practices. Preparation of the final report of each practice. The practical exercices can be delivered individually or in groups of two people.

The Moodle is the virtual platform used for communication with students, it is also the repository of all practical and theoretical material and the place where you will submit the practical deliverables.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Evaluation activities

The evaluation activities are the following:

• [50%] Partial exams [ExP]
• [25%] Exam Part I (Geodesy) [ExP1] (individual)
• [25%] Exam Part II (Location Systems) [ExP2] (individual)
• [35%] Laboratory practices [Lab]: delivery of reports and/or knowledge tests of the practices carried out at the laboratory
• [20%] Reports/Tests Part I (Geodesy) [Lab1] (in pairs)
• [15%] Reports/Tests Part II (Location Systems) [Lab2] (in pairs)
• [15%] Practical sessions [Pr]: development of problem sessions to evaluate the knowledge acquired
• [5%] Sessions Part I (Geodesy) [Pr1] (individual)
• [10%] Sessions Part II (Location Systems) [Pr2] (in pairs)

Grades computation

The Final Grade (NF) of the subject will be calculated according to the activities indicated above, applying the next equation:

NF = (0.5 x NF1) + (0.5 x NF2)

Where:

• NF1 = (0.5 x ExP1) + (0.4 x Lab1) + (0.1 x Pr1)
• NF2 = (0.5 x ExP2) + (0.3 x Lab2) + (0.2 x Pr2)

Each activity will be evaluated under the scale of 0 to 10.

To pass the subject, the final grade must be equal to or greater than 5 (NF > = 5.0) and fullfil all the following conditions:

• ExP1 >=3
• ExP2 >=3
• NF1 >=3
• NF2 >=3

If any of the prerequisites are not met (and the \"averagegrade cannot not be computed\"), the student will be assigned a \"fail\" with a maximum grade of 4.5.

Synthesis examination

In accordance with the academicregulations, students who do not pass the subject but who have been evaluated for more than two thirds of this, can be submitted to a synthesis examination.

This exam will allow to recover the part of evaluation corresponding to the partial exams (50% of the final grade), but not the part corresponding to the laboratory activities. The latter, due to their eminently practical nature, can not be recovered.

Repeating students

The repeating students need to be re-evaluated of all the evaluation activities planned for the subject. The note of tests carried out in past courses will not be maintained.

Consideration of \"Not Evaluable\"

Students who do not attend either of the two exams, or the final synthesis test, will be considered \"Not Evaluable\".

Consideration in case of copy or plagiarism

Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with the regulations in force, the irregularities committed by the student that may lead to a variation of the grade of an evaluation act will be graded with a zero. Therefore, copying or allowing to copy a practice or any other evaluation activity will involve suspending it with a zero and can not be recovered in the same academic year. In case that there is a particularly relevant difference between the continuous assessment and the final exam grade, the teaching staff may require a complementary oral assessment on part of the subject content in order to confirm the authorship, the level of achievement and the overall coherence of the learning evidence.

Additionally, copy or plagiarism will be communicated to the graduate coordination so that they can apply the corresponding measures.

Uses of Artificial Intelligence

In this subject, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed as an integral part of the development of the work, provided that the final result reflects a significant contribution of the student in the analysis and personal reflection. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. The lack of transparency regarding the use of AI is considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases..

Honor grades

Granting an Honor qualification is a decision of the faculty responsible for the subject. Honors will be awarded only to students who have shown a great level of excellence in the subject, and not by default to those who have removed the highest marks. The regulations of the UAB indicate that Honors can onlybe awarded to students who have obtained a final grade of 9.00 or more. It can be granted up to 5% of MH of the total number of studentsenrolled.

Communication

The Virtual Campus will be the preferred communication platform with the students. After publishing the grades for each evaluable activity, the review mechanism will be communicated through the virtual campus.

Single evaluation

If it is requested at the begining of the semester, a single global exam will be offered for both partsof the subject (G and SL) which will add questions related to the practices (PAUL and PLAB). The same recovery system will be applied as for the continuous assessment.

Rescheduling

Rescheduling an assessment activity will only be allowed if the criteria described at https://www.uab.cat/doc/criteris_avaluacio_escola

Grades review procedure

An email must be sent to the teaching person responsible for the assessable activity in order to agree on the form (in person or virtual) and the date and time of the review. The person responsible for the subject must be copied. This request must be made no later than 15 days after the publication of the grades.
