Main bibliography

Complementary bibliography

Teaching procedures

Lectures (2 hours per week) will be used to present the theoretical content, together with practical examples using the methodologies and tools to be used in laboratories by following the corresponding script. In the laboratory classes (2 hours per week), the students will work in groups of four people in a software project.

Admission to exams

Practical work (TP) will be evaluated through the documentation submitted, the application developed and individual performance in the class (TP1 to TP8).

The theoretical concepts are evaluated through the individual response, closed book, to CAT sheets (FT1 to FT4).

Minimum required to pass this course: 50% in each of the practical components (TP1 to TP8) and 40% overall mark in the CAT sheets (FT1 to FT4).

This course, due to its laboratory nature, can not be replaced by taking an exam.

Final grade

Classification = 80% TP + 20% FT

where:

TP = (TP1 + 3* TP2 + 2* TP3 + 2* TP4 + 2* TP5 + 8* TP6 + TP7 + TP8 )/20
FT = (FT1 + FT2 + FT3 + FT4) / 4

The classification of any assessment component may vary from element to element in the same group by plus or minus 2 values, based on the opinion of teachers and the self-evaluation to be conducted internally within each group.

Special assignments

Further to the demonstration of the product, an oral session may be required for some of the students.

Special evaluation (TE, DA, ...)

Students under special regimes are expected to submit the practical work required for this course as ordinary students.

Students that are not required to be present in the classes, have to present the evolution of their work to the teacher simultaneously with the regular students, and conduct the same theoretical tests.

Improvement of final/distributed classification

Improving the classification requires a new enrolment in the course.
