| 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 simulators or programming libraries. |
| Field trip | There will be several field trips to the Esteiro Campus towing tank, where students will have to test the real operation of autonomous marine vehicles. |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | Oral presentation of the theoretical syllabus by the teachers of the course. |
| Personalized attention |
|
|
| Assessment | |||
| Methodologies | Competencies / Results | Description | Qualification |
| Oral presentation | A53 A69 A87 | 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. | 30 |
| Supervised projects | A17 A23 A26 A57 A73 A91 | 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. | 60 |
| Field trip | A17 A26 | Correct preparation and participation in field trips will be assessed by the subject teachers and must be explained in a written report. | 10 |

First opportunity: To pass the course on the first occasion, a minimum score of 50 must be achieved by adding up all the previous methodologies, being necessary to obtain a minimum of 35 in the sum of the Supervised Work and the Field Trip, and 15 in the Oral Presentation. Second opportunity: If the student does not pass the subject on the first occasion, he/she must repeat the activities that are necessary from the method/ies that were not passed in the second call. For example, if a student passed the Oral Presentation part, but failed the Supervised Work + the Field Trip, he/she must repeat the practical work necessary to pass the course, normally those that were not individually passed. In the second opportunity, the minimum grade criteria established in the first call are maintained. Early opportunity: For this opportunity, the same criteria are maintained as for the first, with the student having to specify delivery deadlines with the subject teachers. Students with part-time registration or academic exemption: They will be able to accumulate 10% of the corresponding grade for the Field Trip in the supervised works in both calls. This modification must be requested from the professors of the subject at the beginning of the semester. Likewise, if they cannot make the oral presentation with the rest of the students, they must arrange an alternative date with the professors in all calls. All regulatory aspects related to “academic exemption”, “dedication to study”, “permanence” and “academic fraud” will be governed in accordance with the current academic regulations of the UDC (https://www.udc.es/es/normativa/academica/) |

1.- The delivery of the documentary works that are carried out in this subject: • 1.1. It will be requested in virtual format and/or computer support. • 1.2. It will be done through Moodle, in digital format without the need to print them • 1.3. If done on paper: - No plastic will be used. - Double-sided printing will be done. - Recycled paper will be used. - Printing drafts will be avoided. 2.- Sustainable use of resources must be made and negative impacts on the natural environment must be prevented. 3.- The importance of ethical principles related to the values ??of sustainability in personal and professional behavior must be taken into account. 4.- According to the different regulations applicable to university teaching, the gender perspective must be incorporated in this matter (non-sexist language will be used, bibliography by authors of both sexes will be used, the intervention of male and female students in class will be encouraged...). 5.- Work will be done to identify and modify sexist prejudices and attitudes, and the environment will be influenced to modify them and promote values ??of respect and equality. 6. Situations of discrimination based on gender must be detected and actions and measures will be proposed to correct them. 7. The full integration of students who, for physical, sensory, psychological or sociocultural reasons, experience difficulties in having suitable, equal and beneficial access to university life will be facilitated. |
