Methodologies |
Methodologies |
Description |
Supervised projects |
Carrying out a work/project outside the classroom in which programming practices will be carried out using a simulator or a real robot. This work will be carried out autonomously by the students and their progress will be tutored by the teachers. |
Oral presentation |
Theoretical report or similar on a topic proposed by the subject teachers, which must be presented in front of classmates and also handed in in writing. |
Workshop |
Seminars in which students are trained on the tools to be used in the practical part of the subject, such as robotic simulators or equivalent. |
Field trip |
One or several field trips to real autonomous vehicles test areas will be carried out, where students will have to interact with the real systems following the teachers' instructions. |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Oral presentation of the theoretical syllabus by the teachers of the course. |

Description |
Workshops: the students will be able to ask the teacher any questions they may have about the topics covered.
Tutored work: it is advisable to use personalised attention in these activities to resolve conceptual or procedural questions that may arise during the resolution of practical problems. In addition, personalised attention will also focus on the student's explanation of the proposed solution.
Oral presentation: students will have to go to the teachers to solve any doubts they may have about the preparation of the work to be presented, both in terms of the content and the presentation itself.
Field trips: the teacher will monitor the process at all times, guiding the students in the areas visited, and checking their understanding of the process.
Students enrolled part-time will have an online personalised communication channel in all the methodologies. |

Oral presentation |
A6 B3 B4 B16 B17 C1 C5 C6 |
The oral presentation of the theoretical work/works, the written version of the same and the active participation in the presentations of the classmates have an important weight in the final grade of the course. |

Supervised projects |
A6 B3 B4 B14 B16 B17 C1 C5 C6 |
One or two practical projects will be proposed throughout the course focusing on the resolution of underwater and/or aerial robotics problems. These tasks will be developed autonomously by the student outside of class and must be defended in front of the lecturers. |

Field trip |
B3 B14 B16 B17 C1 C5 C6 |
The correct preparation, execution and understanding of the field trips will be assessed by the teachers of the subject. Students must prepare a report which will be evaluated. |

Assessment comments |
In order to obtain a pass in this subject, a minimum score of 50 must be passed by adding up all the previous methodologies, requiring a minimum of 30 in the Supervised Projects and 15 in the Oral Presentation. In the event that the student does not pass the subject in the first opportunity, he/she will have to repeat the activities that are necessary from the methodology/s that were not passed in the second opportunity. As an example, if a student passed the part of the oral presentation but failed the supervised work, he/she will have to repeat the practical work necessary to achieve a pass, normally those that were not passed individually. Assessment of the extraordinary opportunity: students who apply for this opportunity must carry out the supervised projects and oral presentation methodologies, but not the field trip. The value of this methodology is added to that of supervised projects, becoming worth 70%. Students must contact their teachers at the beginning of the four-month period in order to have enough time to submit their work. Students enrolled part-time will be able to accumulate 10% of the mark corresponding to the fiel trip in the supervised projects, in all opportunities. This modification must be requested to the teachers of the subject at the beginning of the course. Likewise, in the event of not being able to make the oral presentation with the rest of the students, an alternative date must be agreed with the teachers. In the case of plagiarism in internships or teaching assignments, article 11, section 4 b) of the UDC Student Disciplinary Regulations will be taken into account: b) Failure grade in the term in which the offence is committed and with respect to the subject in which it is committed: the student will be graded with a "fail" (numerical grade 0) in the corresponding term of the academic year, whether the offence is committed on the first or second occasion. To this end, the student's grade will be modified in the first opportunity report, if necessary.

Other comments |
-According to the different regulations applicable to university teaching, the gender perspective must be incorporated into this subject.
-Work will be done to identify and modify sexist prejudices and attitudes and influence the environment to modify them and promote values of respect and equality.
-Situations of gender discrimination should be detected and actions and measures should be proposed to correct them.
In order to help achieve a sustainable environment and fulfil the objective of the Green Campus Action Plan, the delivery of the documentary work carried out in this area: - Virtual format or digital support will be requested. - They'll be done on the Virtual Campus without printing them.
In case they’re done in paper: - Don't use plastics. - Use double-sided printing. - Use recycled paper. - Avoid printing drafts. |
