This is a mandatory signature that is enrolled in the Module called Knowledge and Transversal Techniques of the Degree's Curriculum. Therefore, it is a transversal subject with a strong practical and applied character.



This subject is based on the existing relationships between cartography and geography and incorporates the changes that cartography has undergone as a consequence of the advances linked to computing and telecommunications and its new role in society. It is designed so that students, first of all, acquire basic knowledge about general cartography and the forms of representation of the Earth (projections and coordinate systems, scales and cartographic generalization processes, etc.); secondly, they achieve the ability to know how to read and interpret current and historical cartography, with particular emphasis on topographic cartography; and, finally, they begin learning that will empower them to design maps in which to capture the results of their professional and research activity.



In addition to the learning necessary to acquire the aforementioned objectives, the subject also provides students with varied resources and materials that will allow them, on the one hand, to know and explore the main cartographic sources and collections and their applications and, on the other hand, to discover the advances in the field of cartography.

ACTIVITIES:

1.Expository classes

2.AulA Practices

- Carrying out exercises and solving problems

- Management of sources and cartographic resources on the Internet

- Exhibition of works

- Computer practices

• Continuous Assessment System
• Final Assessment System
• Tools and qualification percentages:
  • Written test to be taken (%): 60
  • Realization of Practical Work (exercises, cases or problems) (%): 40

Continuous Evaluation System: a set of practical tests will allow the progress of each student to be assessed throughout the course (it will account for 40% of the final grade) and will be complemented with a written test develop/exam (whose weight will be 60% of the final grade). The practical tests carried out throughout the semester must be delivered on the dates established for it, so delays will have a penalty in the grade. Likewise, the practical tests must be deposited for evaluation in the eGela platform since those sent by other means (for example, by email) will not be graded.

For its part, the written test/exam may include test questions, definitions, broader development questions and practical exercises.



To pass the subject you must achieve an average grade of five points and for this it will be mandatory to pass both parts. If one of them (written test to be taken/exam or practices) was approved in the call ordinary, said grade will be saved for the extraordinary call (but not for the following academic year). No presenting the exam will mean waiving the evaluation call and your grade will be Not Presented/Not Presented.



However, students will have the right to be evaluated using the final evaluation system, regardless of whether or not they have participated in the continuous evaluation system. In this case, all the

theoretical-practical learning results through a test, which will be carried out during the official period of exams. To opt for the final evaluation system, students must present in writing to the teaching staff person responsible for the subject to waive continuous evaluation and opt for the final evaluation, for which will have a maximum period of 9 weeks counting from the beginning of the semester (Regulatory regulations of the Evaluation of students in official Bachelor's degrees, article 8).

Students who do not pass the subject in the ordinary call, regardless of the evaluation system chosen therein, will have the right to take the exams and evaluation activities that make up the final evaluation test of the extraordinary call.



1.- The evaluation of the subjects in the extraordinary calls will be carried out exclusively through the final evaluation system.



2.- The final evaluation test of the extraordinary call will consist of as many exams and evaluation activities as are necessary to be able to evaluate and measure the defined learning results, in a manner comparable to how they were evaluated in the ordinary call. The positive results obtained by the students during the course may be preserved. In the case of having obtained negative results through the continuous evaluation carried out during the course, these results cannot be maintained for the extraordinary call, in which the students will be able to obtain 100% of the grade.



*Failure to take the final test will result in resignation from the evaluation call and your grade will be Not Presented.
