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.
• Mid-term test in continuous assessment (up to 20% of the total qualification): An evaluation test will be carried out throughout the semester within the theory classes of the subject and proposed by the lecturers. This test will be mandatory and required to pass the subject.
• Individual work based on a GIS case study (up to 10% 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 / orgeoprocessing, 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 lecturers (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.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: Students are expected to show adequate ethical behaviour, committing to act honestly. Based on article 42.1 of the Regulation on the evaluation, qualification and quality of teaching and the student learning process of the University of Vigo , as well as point 6 of the fifth rule of Order DEF/711/2022, of July 18, which establishes the requirements for evaluation, progress, and ongoing enrolment in military educational training centres for incorporation into the ranks of the Armed Forces, any violation of academic integrity in the assessment process, as well as the cooperation in it will result in the assignment of a failing grade to the student (zero) for the entire course in the corresponding assessment opportunity, regardless of the percentage of importance that the test in question had in the overall continuous assessment, and independently of other disciplinary actions that may be applied.

In the academic activities and assignments of this course, the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) tools is allowed, used in an ethical, critical and responsible manner. In case you have used GAI, you should critically evaluate any results it provides, carefully verify any citations or references generated, and declare the use of these tools. It is not necessary to disclosure the use of GAI in tasks that do not produce content (proofreading language - spelling or grammar - in a document, translating text, obtaining suggestions to reorganize content or modify the style of a document, or to adapt the format of bibliographic references). AI-generated content (text, images, etc.) must be disclosured and correctly referenced, providing, at least, the following elements: generated content, prompt used in the query, tool used, version, company authoring the software, date on which the query was made and the link to the tool's website. The detection of situations involving non-disclosure of GAI will be considered academic fraud and the measures described in the previous paragraph will be applied.
