Teaching methods and learning activities
In Lecture classes are exposed concepts using practical examples whenever necessary.
In recitation classes are proposed practical exercises, to be solved by students, in addition to the concepts previously presented in the lecture classes. In addition, the students will have to develop a project, in which they are expected to apply the concepts presented in class.

Type of assessment
Distributed evaluation with final exam
Registered evaluation and occupation components
| Description | Type | Time (hours) | Date of conclusion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attendance (estimated) | Lectures | 56 | |
| Project work | Project Work | 82 | |
| Test 1 | Test/Examination | - | - |
| Test 2 | Test/Examination | - | - |
| Study | Study | 30 | |
| Total: | 168 |
Eligibility for exams
Delivery of practical assignment and a final examination through a written test.
Final grade
Minimum grade of 8 marks (out of 20) on the Project and Exam
Final Grade = 0.5 * Project + 0.5 * Exam
Note that to obtain minimal marks roundings are not considered. That means, that the exam's minimal mark is 40%. Ex: 7,95 < 8 ⇒ therefore fails.
Examinations
One pratical assignment,partially executed during the pratical classes, to be delivered and the present in the last week of classes.
Special evaluation (TE, DA, ...)
Part time students should present their assignments in the same schedule dates. The delivery of the assignments should be done until the same deadline as regular students.
Improvement of final/distributed classification
The exam component can be improved with a new exam. The assignment component cannot be improved in the same edition. However, it is possible to improve it in the next edition.
Observations
To attend this UC students must have passed all the UC's Fundamentals of Programming and Programming .
