Other comments on the Evaluation

A numerical rating system with values from 0.0 to 10.0 points will be used according to current legislation (R.D. 1125/2003 of September 5, B.O.E. No. 224 of September 18). The subject will be considered passed when the student achieves a minimum qualification of 5.0 points. 


The evaluation techniques of the subject will be:

  • Final exam in continuous assessment (up to 40% of the total qualification): a final exam will be carried out covering all the contents of the subject, both theoretical and practical. It is required to achieve a minimum score of 4.0 points over 10 possible to pass the subject. The action of cheating in an exam will be penalized, and the student will be qualified in this component with 0.0 (failed).
  • Mid-term test in continuous assessment (up to 15% of the total qualification): An evaluation test will be carried out throughout the semester. The test will be carried out, proposed by the lecturer, at the most appropriate times within the theory classes of the subject. This test will be mandatory and required to pass the subject. The action of cheating in an exam will be penalized, and the student will be qualified in this component with 0.0 (failed).
  • Individual work based on a GIS case study (up to 15% of the total qualification): The students, individually, have to present a work based on a practical case study to be solved with GIS tools, including: purpose of the analysis, input data, analysis tools and / or
    geoprocessing, the results obtained and the thematic cartography elaborated.
  • Development of a project (up to 30% of the total qualification): During the semester, the students have to develop a topographic survey in groups of 3-4 students. At the end of the semester, the students have to present the project in a public presentation. The presentation will be planned on the day and time previously communicated to the students and with the evaluation criteria previously indicated by the lecturer (evaluation rubric). All the students have to participate in the public presentation. Otherwise, the Project qualification will be 0.0 (failed).
Regarding the evaluation criteria and qualification of the project-based learning, the total score of the activity (30%) will be the sum of the following partial evaluations: project development (10%), content of the project report (10%) and contents and quality of the presentation (10%). In the project development, the delivery of the partial results of the project, which are obtained after each field session, will be taken into account. Both the delivery of documents and the calculation procedures and the correct resolution will be assessed. The deliveries have to be presented on time (except for properly justified reasons). Otherwise, the student will be qualified in this component with 0.0. The final qualification of this component will be reduced depending on the number of deliveries not presented on time.
Those students who have not reached the minimum score in any of the qualifying tests in continuous assessment will obtain a maximum score of 4.5 in continuous evaluation.

All the students who have not passed the subject during the continuous evaluation will have the right to recover the subject in an ordinary call. Those students who wish to raise their score in continuous assessment may present this ordinary call, in which case the final exam will constitute 100% of the final score, being necessary to reach a minimum of 5.0 points to pass the subject. It is understood that the score obtained in the ordinary exam substitutes, if higher, the one obtained in the continuous evaluation.

Similarly, all the students who have not passed the subject during the first call will have the right to recover the subject in an extraordinary exam (second call). This exam will constitute 100% of the final score, being necessary to reach a minimum of 5.0 points to pass the subject.

 The action of cheating in an exam will be penalized, and the student will be qualified in this component with 0.0 (failed).
