DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPETENCIES:
CB7 - Students will know how to apply the acquired knowledge and their ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study.
CB9 - Students will know how to communicate their conclusions and the knowledge and ultimate reasons that support them to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way.
CB10 - Students will possess the learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous.
CG5 - Students will know and be able to apply the principles and methodologies of research such as bibliographic searches, data collection, and their analysis and interpretation, as well as the presentation of conclusions, in a clear, concise and rigorous way.
CT2 - Ability to communicate orally and in writing in the Galician language.
CT4 - Development of the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit.
CT5 - Interpersonal relationship skills.
CT6 - Capacity for teamwork.
CT7 - Organizational and planning skills.
CT8 - Capacity for analysis and synthesis.
CT9 - Critical reasoning ability and creativity.
CE2 - Knowledge of geomatic, photogrammetric and cartographic principles, of navigation, aerial triangulation, interpretation and digital treatment of images, as well as of existing good practices in the operation of unmanned aerial systems and know how to apply current regulations.
Knowledge and skills are developed through:
- 12h face-to-face theoretical classes where the expository topics are introduced.
- 30h interactive face-to-face sessions, conducting practices and/or seminars.
- Use of the virtual classroom, where the class material will be, as well as complementary activities.
- Group and individual tutorials will be face-to-face.
A) STUDENTS CURSING THE SUBJECT FOR THE FIRST TIME:
- CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES (EC): the student will have questionnaires that they will have to carry out in the virtual classroom, as well as practical activities for the application of the acquired knowledge, obtaining a grade out of a maximum of 10 points. To pass you must obtain a minimum of 4 points in this part.
SKILLS: CE2, CT2, CT4, CT5, CT6, CT7, CT8, CT9, CB7, CB9, CB10, CG5
- EXAM (EX): the exam will consist of theoretical and practical questions scoring a total of 10 points. To pass you must obtain a minimum of 4 points in this part.
SKILLS: CE2
- PRACTICES (PR): the student must deliver the practical activities that are being carried out, scoring with a total of 10 points. To pass you must obtain a minimum of 4 points in this part. In the case of a practical trip, attendance will be mandatory. The evaluation of this activity will be computed under this heading.
SKILLS: CT2, CT4, CT5, CT6, CT7, CT8, CT9, CE2
The final grade will correspond to the partial evaluations obtained according to the following weighting:
FINAL SCORE = 20% EC + 40% EX + 40% PR
The evaluation of the first and second opportunities will be carried out using the same criteria.
B) STUDENTS WHO DID NOT PASS THE COURSE IN PREVIOUS YEARS:
- If you have completed and pass the practical evaluation (PR> 4 points), you will only have to take the exam (EX) and the continuous assessment activities (EC) being evaluated with the same criteria as the students enrolled for the first time.
- If you do not have approved the practice from the previous year, you will have to do it in the current academic year.
- The qualification of the practical part will be kept for a maximum of one year from the completion of it.
In cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of academic performance of students and the review of qualifications will apply.
The study times established in this course are:
- Theoretical lectures: 12 hours
- Interactive classes (practicals/seminars): 30 hours.
- Gupal tutorial: 3 hours
- Personal study: 100 hours (include reading and homework finishing)
- Attendance at all theoretical and practical sessions.
- Daily consultation of the virtual campus.
- Attendance at group tutorials to discuss, clarify or resolve any doubts.
DISPENSE OF ASSISTANCE:
Students who are granted this exemption must follow the course through the Virtual Campus, making all the necessary deliveries to obtain a positive grade in EC, PR and EX respectively.
Regarding the evaluation system, the following CONTINGENCY PLAN is considered:
SCENARIO 1: NORMALITY (without restrictions to physical presence). Scenario 1 is characterized by coexistence with certain prevention measures, self-protection of the population (facial masks, use of disinfectant gels, etc.) and maintenance of restrictions that affect events with a certain influx of people. In this scenario, the evaluation will be carried out in person, as indicated in the previous sections.
SCENARIO 2: SOCIAL DISTANCING (partial restrictions on physical presence). In scenario 2, mandatory protection measures will be applied, such as security distancing, the use of face masks and organizational measures to control access and capacity. In this scenario, the EC evaluation will be through telematic deliveries to be made once the topic is finished, PR will be face-to-face (> 50%) and virtual, and EX will be telematic.
SCENARIO 3: FACILITY CLOSURE. In accordance with the provisions of the health authorities, in the case of population confinement and closure of the University facilities, the evaluation would be developed through telematic events and deliveries through the Virtual Campus, both for EC, PR and EX.
Regarding the teaching methodology, the following CONTINGENCY PLAN is considered:
SCENARIO 1: NORMALITY (without restrictions to physical presence). Scenario 1 is characterized by coexistence with certain prevention measures, self-protection of the population (facial masks, use of disinfectant gels, etc.) and maintenance of restrictions that affect events with a certain influx of people. In this scenario, teaching will be developed as indicated in the previous sections.
SCENARIO 2: SOCIAL DISTANCING (partial restrictions on physical presence). In scenario 2, mandatory protection measures will be applied, such as security distancing, the use of face masks and organizational measures to control access and capacity. In this scenario, knowledge and skills are developed through:
- 30h of virtual theoretical classes where the expository topics are introduced. Both the virtual classroom and Microsoft Teams will be used.
- 30h of interactive face-to-face sessions, carrying out practices and/or seminars.
- Use of the virtual classroom, where the class material will be, as well as complementary activities.
- Group and individual tutorials will be telematic.
SCENARIO 3: FACILITY CLOSURE. In accordance with the provisions of the health authorities, in the case of population confinement and closure of the University facilities, knowledge and skills would be developed through:
- 30h of virtual theoretical classes where the expository topics are introduced. Both the virtual classroom and Microsoft Teams will be used.
- 30h of interactive sessions, carrying out practices and/or seminars, also taught virtually.
- Use of the virtual classroom, where the class material will be, as well as complementary activities.
- Group and individual tutorials will be telematic.
When virtual teaching is developed, Microsoft Teams will be used, or any other synchronous mechanism, preferably and always according to the official schedule published by the Escola Politécnica Superior de Enxeñaría, unless for any circumstance they cannot be taught by this mechanism and they have to be through delayed explanatory videos.
