C1 CMECES1 That students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that is based on general secondary education, and is usually found at a level that, although supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study
C4 CMECES4 That students can transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to both a specialised and non-specialised audience
C5 CMECES5 That students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy

Learning aims
Competences
1. The students understand the main concepts of discrete mathematics and logics, and they apply them in solving mathematical problems appearing in engineerings. A18117
B5618
C1
2. Students show skills and abilities in analysis, synthesis, critical reasoning and decision making. B5623
B5624
3. Students apply the studied concepts in the elaboration of correct argumentations and reasonings. They are able to face up with situations where they need new mathematical knowledge and techniques. They have developed their autonomous learning skills. B5619

Description
Solving doubts prior to the exams. Individual or small group attention during office hours.

Assessment
  Description Qualification
Mixed tests Two written exams, where problems are proposed to be solved by applying the theoretical contents studied in the classroom. Aspects to be evaluated, among others: the correct use of the mathematical and logical language, the rigorous explanation of all steps of the solutions, as well as the numerical results obtained. Each exam is worth 45% of the total grade, and may be re-evaluated in the second call. 90%
Others Works, assignments and online questionnaries will be evaluated. These activities are not re-evaluated in the second call. 10%
 
Other comments and second call

In all tests: the use of mobile phones and other electronic devices is strictly forbidden, and will result in grade zero. Only the material specifically allowed by the instructors may be used.


Second call. Students may choose between these two options:

 - maintain/preserve the grades obtained in all works and assignments (10%) and repeat one or both written tests. If either of the parts is not repeated in the second call, the grade corresponding to that part obtained in the first call will be maintained in the second call.

 - remove/withdraw all works and assigments from the calculation of the final grade, in this case each of the written tests will be worth 50%.
