Organisation and examination

Teaching in the first semester, review in January

Schedule

Schedule online

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

As a first step, the course deepens the theoretical concepts developed as part of the course "Global Navigation Satellite Systems". Then, the theory is put into practice to solve concrete problems: the student learns to process GNSS data from geodetic receivers or smartphones to calculate positions using the main modern positioning techniques: Single Point Positioning (SPP), Precise Point Positioning (PPP) and Real Time Kinematics (RTK).

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The student will be able to implement the positioning technique best suited to achieving a given goal.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GEOG0037) and Theory of errors (GEOG0626).

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Face-to-face learning.

Organisational adjustments related to the current health context

Recommended or required readings

Lecture notes are available

Assessment methods and criteria

Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.

Any session :

- In-person

oral exam

- Remote

oral exam

- If evaluation in "hybrid"

preferred remote


Additional information:

Report on the activities carried out during the data processing sessions and oral examination on the contents of this report as well as on the theoretical material seen during the course.
