Rules for carrying out the activities

 For each activity, teachers will report on the particular rules and conditions that govern them. This information will be communicated in the physical classroom and / or published in the virtual classroom. 

One-on-one activities presuppose the student's commitment to carry them out individually. All activities in which the student does not fulfill this commitment regardless of their role (origin or destination) will be considered suspended. 

Likewise, the activities to be carried out in groups presuppose the commitment on the part of the students who make it up to carry them out within the group. All activities in which the group has not respected this commitment regardless of its role (origin or destination) will be considered suspended. The responsibility for the results of the work lies with the group, and not with the individuals who make it up. In any case, teachers can, based on the information they have, customize the grade for each member of the group.  

Any undelivered activity will be considered scored with zero points. Failure to attend a laboratory session automatically excludes from the evaluation of the corresponding activity, being considered scored with zero points. 

It is optional for teachers to accept or not deliveries outside the deadlines indicated. In the event that these late deliveries are accepted, it is up to the teacher to decide whether to apply a penalty and the amount thereof. 

Teaching methodology

 The subject consists of 3 weekly hours of face-to-face class and in the classroom (large group), where the theoretical contents will be worked and exercises and problems of a practical nature will be solved; and also consists of laboratory sessions of 1 hour per week up to a total of 10 hours of a practical nature in the computer laboratory (small group). 

For each topic of the course, students will have material that may include: Outline of the theoretical contents, proposal of exercises and problems, statements of related activities, recommended readings, self-assessment test of learning objectives. ..

Both theory and laboratory sessions are compulsory, and the latter will be developed by bringing students together in groups of 2 to 6 people, depending on the activity. Each activity will need a previous preparation that will be carried out, a part, in the face-to-face classes in the classroom, and another will have to do it the students in the time of autonomous learning. These activities will be temporarily extended beyond lab hours, and students will be required to complete them during the autonomous learning time. 

Whenever it is considered appropriate, it will be made available to students activities of a completely voluntary nature that will help them prepare for work and prepare for those of a compulsory nature.

Summary Planning Activities

Activity planning

Qualification system (evaluation)

Attendance at the theoretical and laboratory sessions, and the delivery of the corresponding reports of the activities is a necessary condition for the evaluation of the subject.

It will be up to the teachers of the subject to decide on the possibility of adding activities that allow the recovery of the suspended activities.

It is compulsory to carry out all the activities to obtain the final grade of the subject. The algorithm for calculating the mark is only applied if the weighted average mark of the Exam Activities is greater than or equal to 4. Otherwise the subject is suspended.

The resit exam only gives the option to pass the subject with a grade of 5, except in the case where the weighted average grade of the first 4 activities is equal to or greater than 8. In this case the final grade will correspond to the weighted average mark of all the activities of the subject (the recovery exam corresponds to the Exams activities).

For the other activities, if the result of their evaluation is not satisfactory, or the teachers consider it opportune, they will be able to summon members of a group to carry out an individualized evaluation test.
