Monday and tuesday from 18:00 to 19:30. To agree with the teacher at any other time
2. Pre-Requisites
Basic knowledge onTopography, Cartography, Geodesy and Geometry learned of Civil Drawing and Topography courses in the first year and PBL: Graphic-Cartographic information of the second year of Civil Engineering.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
The planning, analysis and evaluation of the territory requires geographic tools which help you to manage the geo-referenced information. The subject, eminently practical, develops not only fundamental concepts of Earth Information Science, Remote Sensing and GIS, but also Land Management practices in Hydrology, Land planning, Acoustic Environment and Urban Planning

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Final test | 25.00% | 25.00% | Review of basic concepts |
| Theoretical papers assessment | 25.00% | 25.00% | Each group of students will make a written report of the project work they have developed in the course.The grade in the report will be 25% of the final grade. |
| Practicum and practical activities reports assessment | 25.00% | 25.00% | Each student will have to present his/her report of the practices with computer. |
| Oral presentations assessment | 20.00% | 25.00% | The score of the oral presentation of the students' work will assess their oral expression and defense of the work (face-to-face) and the audiovisual media they have used to support their explanation |
| Assessment of active participation | 5.00% | 0.00% | The participation of the student in class will be valued, as much in his or her exhibitions as in that of his or her classmates, as well as his or her attitude in all the classroom activities of the subject. It cannot be retaken. |
| 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: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.
To pass the subject, the following requirements must be fulfilled:
a) 25% exam grade + 25% group work grade + 25% internship grade +20% oral presentation of group work + 5% attendance at class with success.
b)The student MUST PASS EACH PART ( minimun 4 over 10) INDEPENDENTLY FOR THE MIDDLE TO BE DONE.
c)In the event of having any failed part, the ORDINARY assesment call will be presented exclusively to the party or parties that have failed. If the student does not pass in this call, he or she will go to the extraordinary call.
The score does not carry over from one year to the next. The rules of the written documents will be indicated in the Virtual Campus -
Non-continuous evaluation:The student who follows the subject in non-continuous evaluation will present a report of a work proposed by the teacher (25%), a oral presentation of this report (25%) on the day of the ordinary call, a compilation of practical cases prepared with the software taught in the subject (25%) and a comprehensive examination of concepts(25%)
The score does not carry over from one year to the next. The rules of the written documents will be indicated in the Virtual Campus
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
In the Extraordinary call, the student will recover those failed blocks of which the evaluation consists. The average grade will be calculated according to the percentages indicated in the continuous or non-continuous evaluation system followed by the student. The student MUST PASS EACH PART INDEPENDENTLY TO GET THE AVERAGE (minimum 4 out of 10).
The score does not carry over from one year to the next. The rules of the written documents will be indicated in the Virtual Campus
The score does not carry over from one year to the next. The rules of the written documents will be indicated in the Virtual Campus
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
Final exam of theoretical_practical_knowledge (25%) + report proposed by the teacher (25%) + oral presentation and defense (25%)+compilation of practical cases (25%).
