Methodologies |
Description | |
Problem solving, classroom exercises | They are developed in the regular classroom, in the computer classroom or through specific sessions by group videoconference (through the official mechanisms enabled for this purpose). In the latter case, the sessions may be recorded and, if the faculty deems it appropriate, made EXCLUSIVELY available to students through the Moodle platform of the subject, being EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN any other type of use or dissemination without the consent of the faculty. The teacher will guide the procedure of solving problems related to the theoretical content presented in the lectures and may provide, in addition, as many support resources as deemed appropriate (recorded explanations, examples solved step by step, collections of exercises with final solutions, etc.) and will pose questions to students. Students will work in groups or individually (depending on the activity) and will face the resolution of related problems and exercises. For the realization of part or all of the proposed problems will be used the computer programs that are deemed most appropriate in each case. |
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms | They will consist of performing calculations and/or computer simulations by means of specific software of professional scope according to the program of practices of the subject. The realization of these practices will be in small groups, sharing the same computer or using several computers, depending on the resources of the computer room and/or the student. In any case, and in general, unless expressly indicated by the faculty, attendance and completion of the internship will be COMPULSORY for all students and NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE INTERNSHIPS PERFORMED IN OTHER COURSES OR SUBJECTS. Through the guidance of the teacher and the material provided during the session, students will have to model and simulate a certain scenario. Subsequently, and usually outside the classroom and without the supervision of the teacher, they must collaboratively prepare a report or practice report that summarizes the activity performed, includes the results obtained and answers the questions formulated in this regard and / or collects the conclusions reached. |
Lecture | They will consist firstly, in the presentation by the teacher of a theoretical presentation of the main concepts included in the program, its justification and its application to specific cases, as appropriate. Subsequently, the session will focus on answering students' doubts and questions related to the program contents. These sessions will combine, as far as possible, the performance of exercises and problems related to the theoretical contents exposed. The master sessions may include lectures (face-to-face or online) given by external professionals on specific topics of the content program. During the session, the student must take the corresponding notes and participate in the proposed activities. The faculty will provide, before or after the session, the material deemed necessary for the development of the contents of the subject (notes, presentations, manuals, explanatory videos, references to the bibliography, etc.). The development of the lecture sessions will usually take place in the classroom. EXCEPTIONALLY, they can be held by group videoconference (through the official mechanisms enabled for this purpose). In the latter case, the sessions may be recorded and, if the faculty deems it appropriate, made available EXCLUSIVELY to students through the Moodle platform of the subject, being EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN any other type of video-conference. |

Assessment |
Description | Qualification | ||
Problem solving, classroom exercises | Delivery and INDIVIDUAL evaluation in a limited time, of the DETAILED AND COMMENTED SOLUTION (and, if done using computer programs, of the corresponding script) of a set of problem statements proposed throughout the development of the course. In general, the solution will be evaluated taking into account the correctness of the approach to the problem and the hypotheses adopted, the resolution methodology and the results obtained, including the units of measurement. In addition, the grade of the exercise will be weighted with the correct, fair and ADEQUATELY COMMENTED co-evaluation of at least 2 exercises per student and statement following the criteria established in this regard by the faculty. | 25% | |
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms | Delivery and GROUP evaluation (except for the exceptions approved by the faculty of the subject) of an internship report that includes ALL the reports of the internships carried out and other activities that are proposed (e.g.: reports of seminars carried out). The report must be structured according to the template and instructions provided by the professor. It will be evaluated according to the specific evaluation instrument provided. |
25% | |
Mixed tests | There will be at least one INDIVIDUAL test, which will evaluate the theoretical contents taught. The test will consist of a questionnaire of multiple choice or short answer questions that must be completed in a limited time, supported by the bibliographic material and resources indicated by the faculty of the subject. | 20% | |
Oral tests | The delivery and oral defense, INDIVIDUALLY, of a monographic work that develops one of the topics proposed and/or approved by the faculty of the subject related to the program of the same. Each paper will consist of a brief presentation, structured according to the instructions provided by the faculty. The quality of both the presentation and the exposition will be assessed according to the specific evaluation rubrics/scales provided. |
30% | |
Others | Additionally, in case of performing other evaluable activities not included in the other sections, these may be assessed INDIVIDUALLY to improve the final grade in the subject, but will never serve to pass it. Likewise, regular attendance to the different sessions held with good attitude and ACTIVE PARTICIPATION, interest in the subject and the overall performance of the student may be considered for the rounding of the final grade in the minutes. | ||

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS: During the realization of the face-to-face evaluation tests in the classroom, only bibliographic materials or other resources indicated by the faculty of the subject will be admitted, being expressly forbidden the use and mere possession of electronic devices turned on that enable communication with the outside of the room (cell phones, radio transmitters, etc.). The detection of plagiarism in a work or delivery, or any irregularity of this type in the test/s or deliverables (including the use of tools based on Artificial Intelligence or any other system not authorized by the faculty of the course) will result in the loss of the right to the evaluation. Likewise, in case of any irregularity during the celebration of any evaluation test or during the evaluation of a deliverable, the faculty will apply the corresponding regulations, reserving the right to withdraw the test to the student/s immediately and seize as many elements as deemed appropriate to make them available to the Direction of the Center. In general, the grades obtained between academic years will not be retained, being mandatory for the student to attend and perform all the evaluable activities of the course. FIRST CALL FOR EVALUATION: In order to pass the evaluation of the subject it will be necessary to pass a final grade higher or equal to 5 out of 10, obtained by averaging in a weighted way each of the evaluation activities described. In order to average, a grade higher or equal to 5 out of 10 must be obtained in all the evaluable activities (and their parts if they have them), admitting, exceptionally, to average with an evaluable activity with a lower grade, but in any case, always higher or equal to 3.5 out of 10.If in one of the evaluation tests the required minimum is not reached in one or more of the parts, the total grade of the test will be the higher of the parts not passed.In case of not reaching the criteria to pass the subject, the grade will be obtained as a weighted average of the grades obtained, being the maximum grade of 4.9 out of 10.Failure to complete, deliver or participate in one or more of the evaluable activities of the course will be understood as a waiver of the evaluation and will result in a grade of NOT PRESENTED. SECOND EVALUATION ROUND: The same evaluation activities and their weighting in the final grade will be considered as in First Call, with the exception that all tests will have INDIVIDUAL CHARACTER.In order to be able to average, a grade higher or equal to 5 out of 10 must be obtained in all the evaluable activities (and their parts), with no exceptions allowed. In order to pass the course an overall grade higher or equal to 5 out of 10 must be obtained. In case of not reaching the criteria to pass the course, the grade will be obtained as a weighted average of the grades obtained, being the maximum grade of 4.9 out of 10.The student will be considered as NOT PRESENTED if he/she does not attend the totality of the parts that constitute the evaluation test in the Second Call, even if he/she has delivered all the evaluable activities. If at least one of the evaluable activities has been completed or handed in, it will be understood that the student HAS ATTENDED the evaluation exam, and the rest of the activities not submitted or completed will be graded with 0.If the student in the First Call has passed some or several of the evaluable activities with a grade higher or equal to 5 out of 10, he/she will be able to keep the grade obtained in them only for the evaluation in the Second Call, having to present the parts not passed and reaching, in each one of them, the minimum grade of 5 out of 10. In case of resubmitting any of the evaluable activities passed in the First Round, only the grade of the test or submission made in the Second Round will be considered. |
