Goals
| C1 | By the end of the course, the student should be familiar with scientific (also day-to-day, practical) vocabulary used in geodesy and relative disciplines. The course is a form of a reminder of basic problems encountered in geodesy/geomatics. One of the objectives is also to awake students' self-confidence in professional English. |
Course's learning outcomes
| Code | Outcomes in terms of | Learning outcomes prescribed to a field of study | Methods of verification |
| Skills – Student can: | |||
| U1 | prepare a documented study of fundamental problems of geodesy and cartography, and present them orally in English | GIK2A_U01, GIK2A_U02 | Participation in a discussion, Scientific paper, Presentation |
| U2 | acquire, integrate and interpret information from the English-language literature on problems from physical geodesy, satellite geodesy, adjustment calculus and other aspects of broadly understood Geomatics | GIK2A_U01 | Activity during classes, Scientific paper, Presentation |
| Social competences – Student is ready to: | |||
| K1 | broaden his or her current knowledge and understanding of the need for continuous self-education and self-development training | GIK2A_K01 | Project, Report |
| K2 | especially the improvement of language in terms of professional terminology | GIK2A_K01 | Project, Report |

Conditions and the manner of completing each form of classes, including the rules of making retakes, as well as the conditions for admission to the exam
Up to two absences are allowed. Assignments are mandatory to get credit and should be submitted on the set dates. Delays will result in lowering the grade. If a student has received a failing grade and has not completed the course in a primary term, he or she may be reassessed twice. A make – up assessment will have a written form and will encompass the entire presented material. The lecturer sets proper terms and conditions of reassessment.
Method of determining the final grade
oral presentation, vocabulary test, active participation, reading and understanding skills
Manner and mode of making up for the backlog caused by a student justified absence from classes
The way and mode of catching up on project classes resulting from the student’s absence will be determined individually.
Prerequisites and additional requirements
Basic knowledge of English
Rules of participation in given classes, indicating whether student presence at the lecture is obligatory
Auditorium classes: Studenci przystępując do ćwiczeń są zobowiązani do przygotowania się w zakresie wskazanym każdorazowo przez prowadzącego (np. w formie zestawów zadań). Ocena pracy studenta może bazować na wypowiedziach ustnych lub pisemnych w formie kolokwium, co zgodnie z regulaminem studiów AGH przekłada się na ocenę końcową z tej formy zajęć.
