K5 - Is willing to improve their qualifications and data processing skills, regularly consults all problems with the instructor and other group members - K_K07
Assessment criteria
The project is conducted in a laboratory setting and is based on a tutorial. Students have access to a database of all flights worldwide for a one-year period, based on permission from ICAO to share such data for research and student work. An exam is then held at the end of the lecture, and the final grade is the average of both grades.
The project is graded on a three-point scale: a C is awarded to a student who identifies a single point corresponding to the aircraft's position in airspace using the database; a G is awarded to a student who plots a trajectory (connecting several consecutive points) and calculates the vertical and horizontal separation between them.
NOTE
1. A sick leave does not exempt students from knowledge of the material. It only entitles them to an individualized form of assessment.
2. Students who have received approval for an individualized study plan are required to contact the course coordinator to discuss how to achieve all the learning outcomes assigned to the course. If the above-mentioned outcomes cannot be achieved, the coordinator may refuse to grant credit for the course.
3. Attendance is mandatory. In cases of justified absence, the student is required to contact the course coordinator immediately.
Practical placement
Not applicable.
