Other comments
The implementation of the different activities in this teaching guide is subject to the existence of sufficient technical, material and human resources. Completing the practices in the laboratory/computer classroom and assignments is mandatory to pass the subject. The final grade of the subject may require obtaining a minimum grade in any of the parts that compose the evaluation. The elements that compose the evaluation can be sequenced throughout the course according to the different parts they consist of. In the second call, the score related to the practices in the computer laboratory/classroom and work carried out during the course will be kept. Many of the information sources are in English but there are parts in Spanish
