3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
Relationship with other subjects
The graphic concepts learned in this subject will be applied in other subjects such as Cartography (capacity for abstraction of reality, simplification of drawings), Ground Engineering (concepts of projection for representation of elements) and Projects in general (realization of projects and works management: ideation, sketch and representation). Spatial skills are essential tools for engineers during their training and also durig their career.
Relationship with the profession
This subject provides spatial vision for the design of engineering projects, knowledge for its geometric definition and its location in the territory. These are indispensable for any designer and enable the graphic transmission of the design among all the agents involved in the design. In fact, a Civil Engineer in constantly handling with graphical information and standardized nature.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 65.00% | 65.00% | Evaluation of the training processes to be carried out by individual or group resolution, as appropriate, of practical exercises. Two types of exercises, L exercises and P. exercises. L exercises: Individual work during the course for C.E., to be delivered in ordinary call for NCE. P exercises: autonomous work, to be delivered during the course for CE and in ordinary call for NCE. Note N1 = 40% L + 60% P |
| Final test | 30.00% | 35.00% | Final test based on the problems and cases resolved during the course. (N2) |
| Assessment of active participation | 5.00% | 0.00% | N3 |
| Total: | 100.00% | 100.00% |
According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
-
Continuous assessment:Mark: 65% N1 + 30% N2 + 5% N3, mandatory minimum mark of 4 in the first two parts (N1 and N2).
In N1 the on-line participation will also be valued, as well as the realisation of tests on it (Part of P). At the final exam day the student can choose to recover, complete, improve or retouch them. In this case he/she must submit the original and the new one, as well as a brief explanation. At the beginning of the semester the exact number os practices as well as the calendar will be established.
It must be taken into account that:
- The maximum note that can be obtained in the recovery of a delivery is a 7.
- Delayed delivery of work with 0.5 daily points will be penalized, except in justified cases.
- Only one recovery per practice is allowed.
- If a practice has been done in class and the student has been absent, it is considered to have a 0, and can only opt for the recovery grade.
- All the recovery of practices will be upload before the final exam day.
- Each practice must be uploaded to the Moodle platform on the established date. The practices that are not in moodle will be assumed not done.
The details about content, extension and requirements of the practices will be indicated in virtual campus at the beginning of the semester.
In N3, in addition to participation, collaborative work in the classroom will be valued. As an example, if a student acts as a tutor of a partner, as long as the tutoring is justified and is informed at the beginning, that will be rewarded.
If a student is listed as "Not presented" in both calls, he will not have the option of being saved the evaluations of activities surpassed in the current academic year.
If there is any different criterion, by mistake or omission, between the guides in English or in Spanish, the rules in the Spanish guide prevail.
NOTE: All marks in this guide are about 10 points -
Non-continuous evaluation:Mark: 65% N1 + 35% N2, mandatory minimum mark of 5 in both parts (N1 and N2).
In N1the participation on-line in the page of the subject will also be valued (part of the P practices), as well as the realisation of online tests. At the end of the course, in the ordinary call, the student can choose to recover, complete, improve or retouch the practices. In such a case they must submit the original and the new one, as well as a brief explanation. At the beginning of the course the number of practices and their timing will be established.
If a student is listed as "Not presented" in both calls, he will not have the option of being saved the evaluations of activities surpassed in the current academic year.
Unless stated otherwise, continuous evaluation criteria will be applied to all students. Anyone choosing non-continuous assessment must notify it to the lecturer within the class period of the subject. The option is only available if the student¿s participation in evaluation activities (from the continuous assessment) has not reached 50% of the total evaluation for the subject. For the retake exam, the assessment type used for the final exam will remain valid.
In extraordinary call, each student would be in the same evaluation system (continuous or non-continuous) as in the ordinary call.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
Mark: 65% N1 + 30% N2 + 5% N3, mandatory minimum mark of 4 in the first two parts (N1 and N2).
It is only necessary to examine the parts under 4 (N1 and N2).
To recover N1, when is under 4, only fails practices can be re-done.
If a student is listed as "Not presented" in both calls, he will not have the option of being saved the evaluations of activities surpassed in the current academic year.
Specific particularities of Continuous Evaluation and Non-Continuous Evaluation are met.
