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 practical 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 "average grade 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 donot 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.

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 only be 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 students enrolled.

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

A single global exam will be offered for both parts of 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.
