According to the academic schedule.

Materials

LITERATURE AND OTHER TEACHING MATERIAL
There is no book for the course. The teaching material in theory classes is the things to be done and the notes to be written about them.
In the laboratory, the teaching material is various measuring instruments, notes and instructions to be written on the board, and exercises to be done with measuring instruments in classes.

A CALCULATOR IS NEEDED IN CLASSES THAT ALSO HAS ANGLES IN DEGREES.

Lecture material that is saved in MOODLE.
To be announced at the beginning of the course.

Teaching methods

Activating lecture
Presentation lecture
Guided exercises
Task-based teaching
Calculative exercises

Exercises and small group work.

Practical and calculation exam

Exam schedules

Announced at the beginning of the course. Appears in chronological order
Exams are held at the end of the course and their exact date is announced in MOODLE.

Student workload

To obtain the degree, 100% participation in laboratory exercises and 90% in contact teaching and supervision, etc.

The student's workload is 27 h / ECTS, which includes contact teaching and the student's independent work.
The scope of studies and the workload of exercises are sized according to full-time studies.
To obtain the degree, all course assignments must be completed satisfactorily.

All assignments and assignments must be completed before the end of the course. If they are late, a grade reduction will be applied.

Content scheduling

At the beginning there is a construction measurement and at the end there is a thermal imaging.

Further information

TEACHING METHODS
During theory classes, the teacher lectures in front of the class and writes notes and calculation exercises to be written down on the board.
In the laboratory, students work in groups doing practical exercises with measuring instruments, emphasizing height measurement with a level and measuring buildings with a total station, as well as calculation exercises for future practical assignments.

ASSESSMENT METHODS
The course is assessed based on exercises and a practical leveling exam, a written calculation exam, and class knowledge. The first 2 tasks of the calculation exam must be calculated completely correctly in order to pass the exam. The leveling test must be completed within the maximum time limit and within the given accuracy tolerances.

The mutual weightings of the tests for the grade:
- 50%, Calculation test
- 50%, Level test

This course is implemented at school as contact teaching and small group work, which is presented in the MPAK020 class. Small group work is also assessed.

The student's assessment is based on his/her performance during the course. In addition to the tests, these include, among other things, class activity, attendance and small group work with presentations. Attendance should be at least 90%.

The average grade of the test and small group work is not directly the grade for the course, but the above-mentioned things that lower the grade are taken into account.

Assessment methods and criteria

Continuous assessment
Practical test
Calculation task test

Small group work assessment, which examines how well the student has become familiar with the given topic area in their group.
Exercise assessment, which examines how well the student has internalized the content of the material covered in the lectures and understands the general areas of construction measurement. The main points to note are the consideration of sustainable development principles in the general areas of construction measurement, familiarity with the different areas of construction measurement, consideration of the areas and concepts of construction measurement, and the processes and different actors of construction measurement projects.
