Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
Knowledge and understanding
The student will acquire the knowledge of the systems currently used geological digital mapping, understanding also the methodological bases.
Applaying knowledge and understanding
The course is strongly practical. The student will apply the knowledge propre during all stages of the course and the term will be able to implement all his/her skills.
Making judgements
The student will also be able to work on projects, developing skills that allow him/her to deal with unexpected situations and find original solutions.
Communication skills
The student will be able to communicate in different ways (reports, presentations, etc.) the results and synthesisof his/her work. In addition to individual work, it will be important to the team work where students must communicate with each other. It also will encourage students to present their work at external conferences.
Learning skills
Since this branch of computer science applied to geosciences is constantly and rapidly changing, the student will be able to learn for themselves the new techniques and methodologies.
Teaching Material
The teaching material prepared by the lecturer in addition to recommended textbooks (such as for instance slides, lecture notes, exercises, bibliography) and communications from the lecturer specific to the course can be found inside the Moodle platform › blended.uniurb.it
Supporting Activities
field workshop: escursions and field mapping lab
Teaching, Attendance, Course Books and Assessment
- Teaching
In door lectures; digital lab; field lab
- Attendance
none
- Course books
pdf texts from classes
- Assessment
Individual project and face-to-face examination.
The topic of the individual project has to be agreed with the instructor and it has to be delivered 7 days before examinations. The oral exam consists of a discussion on the project.
The final assesment will be determined by arithmetical mean by grade of the project and examination.
- Disabilità e DSA
Le studentesse e gli studenti che hanno registrato la certificazione di disabilità o la certificazione di DSA presso l'Ufficio Inclusione e diritto allo studio, possono chiedere di utilizzare le mappe concettuali (per parole chiave) durante la prova di esame.
A tal fine, è necessario inviare le mappe, due settimane prima dell’appello di esame, alla o al docente del corso, che ne verificherà la coerenza con le indicazioni delle linee guida di ateneo e potrà chiederne la modifica.
